broadly. Power Apps per app is an attractive licensing option for licensing end users that run only a few apps and/or
access only a few websites.
Note:
• A single user might be covered by multiple ‘per app’ licenses to allow the user to use multiple solutions targeted
at various business scenarios, without requiring a per user license.
• Once a pool of Power Apps per app licenses is purchased, individual licenses need to be assigned to specific
environments and to individual users (i.e., if the same app or website exists in two environments, a user will
require two per app User SLs to access both).
• Power Apps per app is also available to qualified education customers under faculty and student pricing. Since
these licenses are sold as tenant level capacity and are not assigned to users in Active Directory, customers and
partners will be responsible for ensuring that student pricing is applied to students only.

Power Apps per app pay-as-you-go meter


The Power Apps per app meter enables individual users to run one custom application. This option is best for businesses
that want to pay-as-you-go for only the users who access a Power App one more times in a month.

Power apps per app pay-as-you-go offer summary


SKU Name Power Apps Per App Active User-1
Meter name Power Apps per app meter

Power Apps per app pay-as-you-go meter definition: A measure of the number of unique, active users who open a single

Power Automate Premium


Power Automate Premium spans modern and legacy applications enabling licensed users to create and run unlimited
cloud flows using digital process automation DPA, plus automate legacy applications with desktop flows through robotic
process automation (RPA) in attended mode. This offer includes full Process Mining desktop functionality and a limited
amount of Process Mining data storage (up to 50 MB). Additionally, Power Automate Premium includes access to AI
Builder capacity in support of scenarios like forms processing, object detection, prediction, text classification and
recognition, and provides the ability for a user to run an attended RPA bot on a workstation.
Please note running an RPA bot in an unattended scenario requires the addition of the Power Automate hosted RPA add-
on.

Multiple desktop flows may be authored/recorded for the RPA bot to execute. However, a bot can only execute one discrete
desktop flow (i.e., process) at a time. Multiple processes must be serialized to run sequentially.
*Per tenant/month, one license allows user or capacity to use in any environment in the tenant.
Note:
• Desktop flow authoring, bot orchestration and management are included in the offer.
• The bot must operate concurrently with the user on the same workstation; the bot can run more than one discrete
process (desktop flows), but each process must be serialized to run sequentially.
• Additional AI Builder capacity can be purchased per 1M service credits for $500/month; AI Builder service credit
capacity is pooled at the tenant level.

Power Automate per user


Power Automate per user equips individual users to create and run unlimited workflows and business processes based on
their unique needs. The per user license is intended to support the broad adoption of an automation culture in an
organization. Should the entire organization be licensed with the Power Automate per user, admins will have minimal
overhead with tracking how many flows are being activated and used within the organization.
Per user offer details
SKU Name Power Automate per user
License Type Per user*
Enabled flows Unlimited
* Per tenant/month, one license allows user or capacity to use in any environment in the tenant.

Power Automate Process


Power Automate Process licenses a single automation bot that can be used for unattended robotic process automation
(unattended RPA), OR business critical processes (flows) that need to be accessed by unlimited users within an
organization. Additionally, Power Automate Premium includes access to AI Builder capacity in support of scenarios like
forms processing, object detection, prediction, text classification and recognition, and provides the ability for a user to run
an attended RPA bot on a workstation.
Per Process allows customers to implement core business processes with capacity that serves teams, departments, or the
entire organization without individually licensing each end user. This offer is great for
• departmental scenarios where typically one power user sets up a process or flow shared with the broader group.
• where processes are deployed using DevOps pipelines.

• All types of enabled top-level flows need to be licensed (scheduled flows, automated flows, instant flows, and
business process flows). Flows that are only used as “child” flows (triggered by another flow) do not need to be
additionally licensed.
• Customers wishing to license more top-level flows should purchase more Power Automate Process licenses.

Note: scheduled flows may be configured to trigger every minute, irrespective of license type. There are no limits on the
frequency of flow runs beyond what the connector supports.

*Per environment/month, one license allows the bot or process to be used in a single environment.
An additional license is required if the same bot or process is deployed in a different environment.

• All types of enabled top-level flows need to be licensed (scheduled flows, automated flows, instant flows, and
business process flows). Flows that are only used as “child” flows (triggered by another flow) do not need to be
additionally licensed.
• Customers wishing to license more top-level flows, should purchase more units of the “Power Automate per flow.”
Note: scheduled flows may be configured to trigger every minute, irrespective of license type. There are no limits on the
frequency of flow runs beyond what the connector supports.

Power Automate Process Mining


Process Mining is a capacity-based, add-on license that enables rapid ROI for customers by identifying critical
optimization opportunities and improving existing processes. There are no limits to the number of users per tenant.

Capacity should be purchased for the peak utilization over a 12-month contract period. If customers experience monthly
or seasonal spikes, they must purchase enough capacity to allow for this high "watermark” when estimating the amount of
capacity needed per month.

Power Platform Licensing Guide | December 2023 P a g e | 15
Power Automate use rights included with Power Apps licenses
The Power Apps Premium, Power Apps per app and Power Apps pay-as-you-go licenses include Power Automate use
rights for the purpose of automating workflows associated with Power Apps applications. Power Automate use within
Power Apps is limited to the context of the Power Apps application. What this means is that for both triggers and actions,
a flow included within a Power Apps application connect to:
• Any data source within the use rights of the Power Apps application.
• Directly with the Power Apps application (via built in trigger/action).
If the flow is isolated and has nothing to do with the Power Apps application, then a full Power Automate license will need
to be purchased.

Example of Power Automate use within Power Apps application context


A user with a full Power Apps license runs an app that uses a SQL database as the data source and includes flows that:
• Read from OR write to the SQL database.
• Use a built-in Power Apps trigger and/or action – e.g., sends a push notification to the app.

Example of Power Automate use outside of Power Apps application context


The same user (in the example above) now also wants to use a flow that updates an Oracle database, that:
• Is completely unrelated to the Power Apps app.
• Does not interact in any way with the Power Apps app (or its data sources).
This user will then require a full Power Automate license.

Power Automate use rights included with Dynamics 365 licenses


Dynamics 365 licenses include Power Automate use rights for the purpose of customizing and extending Dynamics 365
applications. Power Automate use within Dynamics 365 is limited to the context of the embedding Dynamics 365
application. For both triggers and actions, flows included within the Dynamics 365 application can connect:
• To any data source within the use rights of the Dynamics 365 application
• Directly with the Dynamics 365 application (via built in trigger/action)
If the embedded flow is not within the context of the Dynamics 365 application, then full Power Automate licenses will
need to be purchased.

Power Automate use rights included with Microsoft/Office 365 licenses


Limited Power Automate use rights are included with select M/O365 licenses to allow users to customize and extend
M/O365 for productivity scenarios, and to deliver a comprehensive low-code extensibility platform for Microsoft Teams.
For a complete list of M/O365 licenses that include Power Automate and Dataverse for Teams use rights, please refer to
Appendix B.

Power Automate use rights included with Windows licenses


Limited Power Automate use rights are included with select Windows licenses to create and execute personal desktop
automation for attended RPA capabilities in Power Automate Desktop. This expands the digital workforce’s ability to
automate legacy tasks that can slow down workflows, empowering Windows users to start automating redundant and
time-consuming tasks with low-code automation through RPA. For a complete list of Windows licenses that include these
use rights, please refer to Appendix B.

Power Automate use within Windows is available for all applications and websites (across all web browsers). Enterprise
automation and administrative rights are not available in Windows.

Microsoft Copilot Studio

Service Overview
Copilot Studio is an end-to-end conversational AI platform that
empowers you to create and customize copilots using natural
language or a graphical interface. With Copilot Studio, you can
easily design, test, and publish copilots that suit your specific
needs for internal or external scenarios across your industry,
department, or role. For more information please visit:
aka.ms/copilotstudio.

Licensing overview
General purpose Copilot Studio capabilities are licensed per tenant via the Copilot Studio subscription
license. Customers will be charged according to the consumption of “billed messages,” see below for
definition. Additionally, limited Copilot Studio capabilities are included with Copilot for Microsoft 365 and
select Microsoft/Office 365 licenses.
Microsoft Copilot Studio Offer Summary
SKU Name Copilot Studio
License type Tenant license

Billed Messages

Copilot Studio messages are the common currency across Microsoft Copilot Studio capabilities. A billed
message is a request or message sent to the copilot triggering an action and/or response

Message Consumption rates


• Regular (Non-generative AI) = 1 message
• Generative AI (Gen AI) answers over your data = 2 messages

Customers can use a mix of Regular and Generative AI messages.

Examples
a) User asks copilot when a store is open, and copilot replies with store hours = 1 billed message
b) Copilot proactively greets the user on a website = 1 billed message
c) User asks copilot for store hours for the upcoming holiday, copilot responds using GenAnswers
= 2 billed messages

A Microsoft Copilot Studio User License is required for each user authoring bots with Copilot Studio.
Available at no additional cost, the license can be assigned to users by the administrator in the admin
portal. We recommend acquiring the tenant license and user licenses as part of a single transaction to
simplify onboarding to Microsoft Copilot Studio.

Dataverse capacity types and purposes

Dataverse Purposes

Database Stores and manages table definitions and data


Stores attachments to notes or emails in Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, and Field Service
File applications and Power Apps. These include documents, image files, videos, PDF files and other
crucial files needed in an organization.
Records table and column data changes over time for use in analysis and reporting purposes. Log
Log
capacity is designed to help organizations meet their auditing, compliance, and governance policies.

The first Power Apps OR Power Automate OR Copilot Studio OR Power Pages OR Dynamics 365 Sales,
Customer Service, and Field Service subscription provides the one-time default capacity entitlement for
the tenant. For example, if a new customer purchases Power Apps Premium, the tenant will receive 10 GB
of default Dataverse Database capacity. Additional subscriptions do not add to the tenant’s default
capacity.
When additional subscriptions are added to the tenant, additional Dataverse capacity may accrue to the
tenant. Example: Assume that a new customer purchases 10 Power Apps Premium licenses and 20 Power
Apps per app licenses. The total tenant wide pooled capacity will be as follows (note 1GB = 1,024MB):

Default/ Total Tenant


Default and Accrued Capacity Allocation Accrued/10 Enterprise USL
tenant wide capacity
Dataverse Database capacity 10 GB 10*250MB + 20*50MB = 3.5GB 10GB + 3.5GB = 13.5GB
Dataverse File capacity 20 GB 10*2GB + 20*400MB = 28GB 20GB+28GB = 48 GB
Dataverse Log capacity 2 GB NA 2GB

Dataverse capacity add-ons


Apps, flows, or websites utilizing Dataverse will consume varying quantities of Dataverse Database
capacity, Dataverse File capacity, and Dataverse Log capacity. Additional capacity is available through the
Dataverse capacity add-ons.

Subscription Capacity/tenant Additional Increment


Dataverse Database capacity add-on 1GB
Dataverse File capacity add-on 1GB
Dataverse Log capacity add-on 1GB

Please note that Dataverse capacity add-ons do not apply to Dataverse for Teams scenarios (i.e., when a
Dataverse for Teams environment reaches its limit, customers need to step up to full Power Apps, Power
Automate, Copilot Studio or Power Pages licenses for additional capacity).

Dataverse default capacity for Power Platform pay-as-you-go environments


Dataverse default capacity
Environments configured to use Power Platform pay-as-you-go, receive a one-time entitlement of 1GB of
Dataverse Database and 1GB of Dataverse File capacity per environment. These entitlements do not
change based on the number of users using apps or custom websites in an environment. These pay-as-
you-go environments do not consume tenant-wide Dataverse capacity. More information available here.

With a pay-as-you-go enabled environment, Dataverse capacity meters can be used to pay-as-you-go for
Dataverse usage as alternatives to the existing subscription capacity add-ons for overages. Dataverse pay-
as-you-go capacity is billed based on the amount of capacity used in the environment, beyond the 1GB
Dataverse Database capacity and 1GB Dataverse File capacity entitlements per environment. No capacity
is allocated for Dataverse Logs. (Fractional usage is calculated to 2 decimal places in local currencies.)

Meter definition: Amount of capacity used in the environment beyond any entitled amounts (1GB
database capacity and 1GB of file capacity per environment).

Dataverse Capacity/environment Additional Increment


Dataverse Database capacity 1GB
Dataverse File capacity 1GB
Dataverse Log capacity 1GB

AI Builder
Service overview
AI Builder helps empower everyone, regardless of their technical experience, to work with Artificial
Intelligence (AI). This solution helps businesses to easily add AI capabilities to both apps and business
processes. AI Builder supports various scenarios such as predictions, business card reader, and many
more. For more information on AI Builder, please visit AI Builder licensing.

Licensing overview
AI Builder is licensed on a capacity basis. This capacity is expressed in the form of “service credits.” Service
credits serve as the single, common currency across all the capabilities supported by AI Builder. Qualifying
prerequisites include Power Apps Premium and Power Apps per app, Power Automate Premium, Power
Automate hosted RPA add-on, Power Automate unattended RPA add-on and Dynamics 365 Finance
subscription licenses. Multiple AI Builder add-ons can be applied against a single qualifying base license.
The AI Builder add-on is offered via capacity packs. Each capacity pack includes 1 million service credits
per month. Service credits are pooled across the tenant and available service credits are deducted when
AI Builder services are used; (e.g., if a customer requires 4.7 million service credits per month based on
anticipated usage, they should purchase 5 capacity packs.)
Different capabilities, for example, forms processing, prediction, burn down service credits at different
rates. (See the AI Builder rate card for details). Customers should purchase the appropriate number of AI
Builder capacity packs based on anticipated usage across all scenarios.

AI Builder capacity packs

Capacity enforcement
For AI Builder capacity add-on SKUs, purchased capacity is enforced monthly and unused service credits
do not carry over month to month.
Overage handling

While occasional and reasonable overages will be tolerated, customers exceeding purchased capacity
should adjust their purchase quantity per standard Microsoft terms to remain in compliance. In case of
credit overuse, Edit and Creation of AI Builder models will be blocked while in overage. For AI Builder
models used in flows and apps, more stringent technical enforcement (including service denial) will result
for usage that is significantly over the purchased capacity.

Comprehensive monitoring, reporting, and alerting mechanisms will be instituted to assist customers with
managing AI Builder capacity.
Assignment of purchased capacity
Assignment of purchased capacity to appropriate Power Automate, Power Apps applications and
Dynamics 365 workloads is managed in product. Assignment helps ensure capacity for critical AI models.
The minimum capacity to be assigned is 1 service credit.

Additional Resources

Multiplexing
Microsoft’s Multiplexing rules protect against customers looking for ways to purchase fewer licenses than
would otherwise be required to access a software or service. “Multiplexing” refers to the use of hardware
or software to pool connections, reroute or indirectly access information, and/or reduce the number of
devices or users that directly access or use a product. The most common form of Multiplexing is often
thought of as “connection pooling”, where many users are accessing an application through a single
contact point. As technology in the world has advanced, there are many other forms of Multiplexing that
have emerged, such as automated processes to migrate data, accessing applications indirectly, and more.

Multiplexing does not reduce the number of subscription licenses of any type required to access the
Power Platform services. Any user or device that inputs data into, queries, views data from or otherwise
accesses Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio and Power Pages apps, directly or indirectly must
be properly licensed. The number of tiers of hardware or software between with Power Platform apps and
the users or devices that ultimately use Power Platform indirectly does not affect the number of User SLs
required. For additional information about multiplexing refer to the Microsoft Multiplexing Overview.

Licensing Requirements for External Users


External users* must be appropriately licensed to access Power Platform services and data. Applicable
licensing includes:
• An appropriate Power Platform User SL
• Power Pages authenticated or anonymous users/website capacity license
• Accessing via an appropriately licensed Power Automate per flow or Power Automate Process
• Seeded licensing capabilities from Dynamics 365, Office 365, or Windows licenses
Users must be appropriately licensed whether they are accessing directly or indirectly per multiplexing
guidelines. More information on external guest user access is available here.
*External Users are defined as users that are not employees, onsite contractors or onsite agents of
Customer or its Affiliates.

Appendix A: Terminology and Custom Tables
Administration: Administration is critical in order to establish boundaries and policies around the use of
Power Apps in organizations
• Manage environments – space to store, and manage, and share data, apps, and flows
• Data policies – create and enforce policies that define how data can be shared
App (definition of Power Apps per app): An “app” is a combination of Power Platform assets that solves a
specific business scenario.
• Each “per app” license provides use rights to run 1 custom app (canvas or model driven), or
access 1 custom website.
• No limits on other components (e.g., forms, dashboards, etc.).
Application Program Interface (API): Any form of application programming interface that provides access
to a Microsoft service and any associated tools, including sample code that enables interactions with
Microsoft's services, and documentation that Microsoft makes available under these TOU, and includes all
elements, components, and executables of such API.
Application Types:
• Canvas Apps: Design and build a business application from a canvas in Microsoft Power Apps
without writing code in a traditional programming language. Design the application by dragging and
dropping elements onto a canvas, the designer has complete control over app layout.
• Model-driven Apps: Design is a component-focused approach to app development based on data
model and business processes. Unlike canvas app development where the designer has complete
control over application layout, with model-driven apps much of the layout is determined for you
and largely designated by the components you add to the application.
Connector: It provides a way for users to connect their business data and leverage a set of pre-built
actions and triggers to build their applications and workflows. Examples of connections: Dataverse
(formerly Common Data Service), SharePoint, SQL, OneDrive, Excel, Dynamics 365.
• Standard Connector: Data sources within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Examples: Excel, Outlook,
SharePoint, LinkedIn. A list of standard connectors is located here.
• Premium Connector: Business systems beyond Microsoft 365. Examples: DocuSign, Zendesk, Jira
Software.
• Custom Connector: To support more tailored scenarios, users can build custom connectors with
their own triggers and actions. These connectors are function-based; data is returned based on
calling specific functions in the underlying service. Example: Services that are not available as
prebuilt connectors.
• On-premises Connector: Accesses on-premises data using a gateway. Example: Microsoft SQL
Server.
CRUD: Create, read, update, and delete operations.
Copilot: Copilot is an AI assistant powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) that offers innovative
solutions across the Microsoft Cloud. Copilots aim to enhance productivity, creativity, and data
accessibility while providing enterprise-grade data security and privacy features. They bridge the gap
between complex tasks and user-friendly solutions, providing a natural language conversational interface
to interact with data, create automations, build applications, and even assist with coding tasks. Their
integration within Microsoft platforms/products provides a more efficient digital workspace.
Dataverse (formerly Common Data Service): Dataverse lets you store and manage data that is used by
business applications.
Dataverse for Teams, built atop Dataverse, delivers a built-in low code data platform for Microsoft
Teams, and provides relational data storage, rich data types, enterprise grade governance, and one-click
solution deployment.
Dataverse is designed to be used in any application (not just Teams) and includes additional security
features such as auditing, sharing, column level and hierarchical security. For a detailed comparison on
Dataverse for Teams and Dataverse capabilities, please refer to the public documentation here.

Desktop flow: A feature in Power Automate targeting the RPA market by enabling legacy apps to be
automated via GUI vs API.
• Processes executed via desktop flows can be contained within a broader API-based automation
scenario or exist standalone.
Flow (definition of flow within app context): For both triggers and actions, flows included within an
embedding application can connect:
• To any data source within the use rights of the embedding application
• Directly with the embedding application (via built in trigger/action)
Generative AI: Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence focused on the ability of computers to use
models to create content like images, text, code, and synthetic data.
Generative AI applications are built on top of large language models (LLMs) and foundation models.
• LLMs are deep learning models that consume and train on massive datasets to excel in
language processing tasks. They create new combinations of text that mimic natural
language based on its training data.
• Foundation models are large ML models pre-trained with the intention that they are to be
fine-tuned for more specific language understanding and generation tasks. These models
are utilized to discern patterns within the input data.
After these models have completed their learning processes, together they generate statistically probable
outputs when prompted and they can be employed to accomplish various tasks, including:
• Image generation based on existing ones or utilizing the style of one image to modify or
create a new one.
• Speech tasks such as transcription, translation, question/answer generation, and
interpretation of the intent or meaning of text.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA): A market for process automation that encompasses the use of an
application's graphical user interface (GUI), where a user records a series of steps/actions/tasks for the
automation technology to then perform as a process by repeating directly in the GUI.
RPA robot or "bot": A GUI-based process running on a desktop or virtualized environment.
• Attended bot: Triggered by an explicit user action on their workstation, i.e., a local or remote
desktop
o Must operate concurrently with the user on the same workstation
o Can run more than one discrete process, but each process must be serialized to run
sequentially
• Unattended bot: Runs autonomously without requiring user actuation
o Can be deployed on a local or remote desktop, or other virtualized environment
o Can run more than one discrete process, but each process must be serialized to run
sequentially
o Concurrent instances of a singular process require an additional unattended bot for each
instance
Tables: A set of records used to store data. Tables let users model business data for use within an
organization’s business applications. Examples of tables: Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity.
• Standard tables: Dataverse provides business tables, out of the box, that represent most commonly
used tables across business applications. Examples: Account, Appointment, Contact, Email, etc.
• Custom tables: Tables that are created by the customer/partner for a specific business need. For
example, type of machine is not a standard table, so it can be created as a custom table.
• Restricted tables: Tables that requires a Dynamics 365 license for full access. Examples: Case, SAL,
Knowledge Articles. For list of restricted tables click here.
• Complex tables: These are tables that use complex server-side business logic. Any table (whether
standard or custom) becomes complex once the customer/partner associates the table with the
custom business logic. Example: any table that uses a real-time workflow or code plug-in.
Workflows:
• Background workflows: Task automation across systems and services. Runs in the background.
• Real-time workflows: Task automation across systems and services. Runs in a real time manner.
• Business process flows: Structured stateful human interactive workflows which are composed of
multiple steps, allows branching/stage gating, and includes process KPIs and reporting.
