In response to the significant changes in business preferences and licensing practices in recent years, as well as the growing adoption of subscription-based pricing by the industry and customers, Microsoft has decided to align its Dynamics on-premises business with this licensing model. This change offers customers greater flexibility to grow and adapt to evolving business needs.
Starting April 1
Effective April 1, 2025, purchases by new customers of Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premises will be limited to subscription licenses, and no further perpetual licenses for Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premises will be sold to new customers. This announcement does not affect the ability of existing Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premises customers with perpetual licenses acquired before April 1, 2025, who have an active enhancement plan, to add functionalities or users to their perpetual license.
