Dynamics 365 October Price Changes: Migration & Licensing Options Explained
As of October 1st, Microsoft has officially increased prices on select Dynamics 365 SKUs. While this change was anticipated with earlier announcements, the new pricing is now in effect, leaving many businesses wondering how to adjust. The good news is that there are still plenty of options available, whether you’re considering migration, licensing adjustments, or other strategies to mitigate the impact. In case you missed the initial announcement, here is a blog post to get you caught up.
Migration Options
If you haven’t yet migrated to the cloud, don’t worry—you still have time. While license costs with the migration discounts are slightly higher post-October 1st, this move can still be a critical long-term investment for your organization, offering enhanced capabilities and more flexible operations. It’s important to weigh the immediate cost increase against the long-term benefits of cloud integration, particularly for companies looking to improve scalability, accessibility, and security.
