Breakdown by Optimization Pattern
The analysis identifies potential cost savings based on standard Microsoft licensing rules and pricing. Before implementing any changes, please carefully consider the following points:
- Verify User Needs: Confirm that the proposed license changes align with the actual operational requirements and responsibilities of each user. Subtle functionality differences can exist between license types.
- Impact on Bundled Add-ons/Services: Double-check if removing a primary license might affect access to specific bundled add-ons or related services that were implicitly included, especially within complex M365/Dynamics suites.
- Minimum Commitments & Terms: Before reducing license counts, review your Microsoft agreement for any minimum commitment clauses or specific terms associated with the licenses being changed, as early adjustments might have contractual implications.
- Strategic Timing: If possible, align license adjustments with your Microsoft subscription renewal or review cycles to streamline administrative overhead and billing.
- Pricing Context: The potential savings shown are calculated using standard Microsoft list prices which are often updated. Your organization's specific Enterprise Agreement (EA) or negotiated discounts may lead to different actual costs and savings figures.

Common Recommendation
Maintain Microsoft 365 E5. Maintain Dynamics 365 Business Central Essentials as the qualifying 'base' license. Change Dynamics 365 Sales Professional to an 'attach' license. Attach licenses offer the same functionality at a significantly lower price when assigned to a user with a valid base license.
