Microsoft Business Central Price: What You Need to Know

As businesses continue to navigate the ever-changing landscape of enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions, Microsoft's recent announcements have left many wondering what's next for Dynamics NAV 2018 and prior versions. In this article, we'll break down the key changes and what they mean for partners and customers alike.

First and foremost, Business Central On-Premise cannot downgrade to NAV 2018 or earlier, making it essential to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the ERP world. New customer licenses for NAV 2018 can still be purchased until April 1, 2018, under the existing Concurrent User model (and Starter/Extended Pack).

Business Central Subscription pricing is now available, offering customers a flexible and cost-effective solution for their ERP needs. For new customers, NAV 2018 from October 1, 2018, has limited upgrade rights, as depicted in Figure 3.

In terms of purchasing options, Business Central On-Premise can be acquired through DPL (Partnersource) or a Business Central Subscription (also via PartnerSource). Business Central in the cloud, on the other hand, can only be purchased via CSP (Dual Use Rights allowed).

Existing Dynamics NAV 2018 customers may continue to purchase additional licenses as needed. Meanwhile, new customers have several options for purchasing:

* Dynamics 365 Business Central cloud via Cloud Solution Provider program (CSP)

* Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premises via DPL

* Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 on-premises, sold via the Dynamics Price List (DPL), will no longer be available for new customers effective April 1, 2019.

At Directions North America conference in September 2018, important announcements were made regarding the future of NAV 2018 and prior versions. It's crucial to stay informed about these changes, as they may impact your business decisions and partnerships.

For partners, this means having the capability to provide cloud-oriented customers with access to Business Central and its features, allowing for a seamless transition into the next steps in their ERP solution journey. It also opens up opportunities for companies that don't want to move to the cloud to use the most advanced and feature-packed ERP solution released by Microsoft to date.

With the release of Dynamics 365 Business Central's on-premise version, businesses can now enjoy the benefits of this powerful ERP solution without having to rely solely on cloud-based solutions. For existing NAV customers, this means they can continue to use their current software while also exploring the features and benefits of Business Central.

In conclusion, understanding the changes and updates surrounding Microsoft Business Central pricing is essential for making informed decisions about your ERP needs. By staying up-to-date with the latest developments and announcements, you'll be better equipped to navigate the ever-changing landscape of ERP solutions and make the most of this powerful technology.
