Before you start your Dynamics GP implementation, it is important to understand what modules you own and what licensing structure you fall under. This may change some of your plans for Dynamics GP or help you identify additional purchases needed prior to implementation.
All Dynamics GP licensing is sold on a concurrent user basis—you can have an unlimited number of named users set up in the system, as long as the number of users logged in at any one time does not exceed the number of licenses you own. The concurrent logins are enforced by the application; it is not an honor system, as some applications are, relying on the users to monitor usage. The following is a matrix of the Dynamics GP licensing available:
License Mode |
License Edition |
Details |
---|---|---|
Business Ready Licensing |
Business Essentials |

Advanced Management |
Initial purchase includes a core set of most of the available modules and one concurrent user. Additional concurrent users are purchased separately, there is no maximum. All additional modules are available for separate purchase. | |
