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
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.

Power Pages
Service Overview
Power Pages delivers a secure, enterprise-grade platform for
creating, hosting, and administering modern external-facing
business websites. For more details, please visit
https://powerpages.microsoft.com/
Licensing overview
Power Pages licensing is based on two user types, authenticated users per website/month and
anonymous users per website/month. Sufficient user capacity must be assigned to the environment to
cover the total number of unique users who access the website/month.
• Authenticated users definition: Power Pages authenticated users are users who obtain secure access
to a website by logging in through an authentication provider on the website.
• Anonymous users definition: Power Pages anonymous users are users who access a website and do
not log in.
Power Pages
All Power Pages licenses include the full capabilities of Power Pages. Organizations that need full-fledged
general purpose Power Pages websites to create, host and administer rich, interactive, data first, business
web apps worldwide should purchase Power Pages capacity packs.
Customers should purchase the necessary number of capacity pack licenses to cover the anticipated
number of authenticated users that will access each Power Pages website over a monthly period. Unused
capacity does not carry over to the next month. Note: Authenticated user capacity needs to be assigned
to an environment.
Per Authenticated user offer details

Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, Power Pages and Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service,
and Field Service applications leverage the same tenant and infrastructure. Dataverse capacity (Dataverse
Database, Dataverse File, and Dataverse Log) is accrued across the tenant and shared amongst relevant
application workloads.
There are additional Microsoft subscriptions beyond Power Platform that grant Dataverse capacity
entitlements. Please see this page for details related to Project for the web, as well as the Dynamics 365
Licensing Guide for information related to other entitlements.
Dataverse Purposes
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):
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).

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.

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.
