Right-size your Dynamics 365 storage and licences before November 1, 2025

Microsoft Blogs

Microsoft is rolling out important changes to Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations licensing.

Avoid business disruption, stay compliant and lower your operational risk.

From 1 November 2025, all users will need an assigned licence to access D365 applications. 

Administrators now have access to usage reporting (since 30 April), and users without licences will start seeing in-product prompts. These changes are designed to give organisations time to prepare before enforcement begins.

What’s changing? 

  • Licence usage reporting is available (since 30 April 2025) 
  • Users without licences will receive in-app alerts 
  • From 1 November 2025, only licensed users will be granted access 

This shift in enforcement brings greater clarity—but also greater responsibility.

How Fusion5 can help 

We’ve launched two purpose-built services to support your transition:

Licence Optimisation Service

Gain visibility of your licence usage, understand gaps, and avoid unnecessary costs.

Learn more

Storage Capacity Assessment

Analyse your current storage setup, mitigate risk, and optimise cost. You can use these services separately or bundle them for a more cost-effective outcome.
