Microsoft has announced a price adjustment for its online Dynamics 365 Business Central licenses, effective from October 1, 2025. This change will affect both new subscriptions and renewals of existing subscriptions, and will be accompanied by an increase in storage capacity per user or device.
The goal of this change is to align prices across all regions and currencies, although Microsoft has noted that final amounts may vary depending on local factors.
New pricing and storage per license
Below are the updates that will be applied to each type of subscription:
These prices are charged per user or device, per month, and are subject to potential adjustments related to exchange rates.
What does this change mean for companies?
For current Business Central users, the price change will result in an increase when renewing their subscription. However, Microsoft has paired this increase with a significant improvement in the included storage, which may offset the cost rise in environments with high data volumes.
In addition, this adjustment standardizes pricing and capacity policies globally, providing greater clarity for companies with international or multi‑location operations.
