Thanks Lisa - One comment, I have only Power Apps that come with Office 365 E3 (No power apps per user) and I asked the admins to give access to a different environment than the default one. It was possible to have access, create apps, and share them as normal (All standard connectors of course)
Thanks Lisa for an insightful information on licensing. One query , the users using the Canvas App with SharePoint connector to needs to have the M365 E5 license , kindly confirm.
Hi Lisa, can you tell us what you have? Like I want Microsoft 365 for home (Excel, Word, Power Point, Outlook) and ALSO Power BI Pro, Power Apps Premium, Sharepoint, Excel for Business Online, Dataverse, and SQL. Is there some way to combine both home and work things in a single package?
Thanks Lisa So with this info my question. what license is pocket friendly and available for a freelancer who is just starting out and wants to share a Power app solution with a guest users. I am building an app for my housing estate, the app is to help get levy payment detail from residence. I do not know what license will enable me make the app available to the over 300 residence in my estate. This is a community service project. Thanks for looking into this.
Power Apps won't be the right solution for that, everyone would need at least a Microsoft 365 license and be in the same Microsoft tenant or a guest of that tenant - it's designed for business scenarios. If you just want to get details you can look at Microsoft Forms, or else you could build something in Power Pages if you need them to have a secure login.
Oh thank you so so so much @@LisaCrosbie you have always connected the dots for me on this journey of mine. Thank you so much. I think Power Pages will work while giving each residence a view of payment history based on the collected information over time right?
What about a maker with a premium license who creates a standard canvas app in a solution in her development environment, moves this via ALM pipeline to a production environment and share the standard canvas app, which is using Sharepoint as backend with MS 365 user in the organization. In my opinion this should be OK even from a production environment. The user are using the app only, no edit rights. What do you think? Or is it necessary to export the canvas app and put it into the default environment (which should be absolutely fine, right?).
Hi Lisa, so many MS terms out there being used interchangeably. Just to clarify, you are referring to a Premium 365 subscription license? Which I believe comes with a Power BI (free) subscription. Or are we talking about a Premium PBI license?
@@LisaCrosbie One question I had after watching and that is. If you build a model driven app using your premium license. Do the end users also have to have a premium license to use the app? Or just a basic O365 license? Thanks in advance.
Hi Lisa, It so much help for explanation. I have question about licensing, as a premium connector dataverse. If we plan to buy only 1 license power apps per user to developing 1 apps. How about the other user in the organization? Whether they need license also or just enough to use license under rights O365 to use those apps? Please advise,
Everyone who uses a Power App needs an appropriate license. It's licensed by users. So if you are just using O365 data sources (like SharePoint) those users will need the seeded Power Apps license included in their O365 license.
Thanks for the video Lisa! Can I ask, if I get the PowerApps license, can it be use Microsoft 365 Business Standard or do I have to use it with Microsoft 365 Business Premium?
Thank you Lisa... nice video. Subscribed.. :) Small Query: I have Office 365 business basic license and I am developing app in Developer environment which was community environment before. Now I would like to create one Production environment so that I can share my app with users both internal and external. As per PowerApps license model there are 3 kind of license. I am interested in Per App license ($5) and I don't want to go with Pay-as-you-go license ($10). As per Per App and Per User license documentations both of them don't give enough capacity through which we can create a production environment ( min.1GB). Could you please guide which plan shall i buy to make production environment ? Thank you very much in advance.
Hi Ashok, - from the Microsoft documentation, you are able to do this with a single Per App license, you get a default capacity entitlement with the first license you purchase: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/guidance/adoption/capacity-and-licenses?WT.mc-id=BA-MVP-5003537 ""Microsoft Dataverse capacity (database, file, log, and add-ons) is pooled across the tenant and shared among all environments and workloads. The first subscription of Power Apps or Power Automate provides a one-time default capacity entitlement for the tenant. For example, a Power Apps per-user plan would set the tenant capacity initially as 10 GB of Dataverse database, 20 GB of Dataverse file, and 2 GB of Dataverse log capacity. Each additional licensed user provides an additional per-user capacity grant that increases the overall tenant available capacity. There are also capacity add-ons available to purchase additional database, file, and log capacity""
The main limitations with Dataverse for Teams are that the environment is capped at 2GB storage, and you can only build apps for use inside Teams (if you want standalone apps accessed outside Teams you need a full Power Apps license).
Thank you so much for this video. From the first part of the demo, sounds like a user needs a Power Apps license to get access to a non-Default environment - can anyone confirm?
If I create a model driven app with a premium license, can my E5 users access the app and do data entry or do they need premium licenses to access the app?
Every user who uses the app will need a premium power apps license (per app if that’s the only one they use or per user if you have multiple apps that they use).
This is why I make these licensing videos 😉 (although to be fair there is a lot of detail and specifics underneath all this which is necessary in the official documentation - but I do this because most people just want the high level answers like this at least to get started).
Thanks for this excellent video Lisa. This info is hard to find on the Microsoft site, but you summarized it perfectly.
Glad it was helpful!

Great as always! Keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks Lisa for an insightful information on licensing.

Correct, if you are building a Canvas App on SharePoint you can do that with the E5 license.

Or are we talking about a Premium PBI license?
Hi David, this is all about Power Apps. Power Bi licensing is a whole other question I haven’t tackled here.
Great insight video 👍
Glad you think so, thanks

@@LisaCrosbie yes, as far i know powerapps under rights license O365 Is trial version. But i dont know about the different with powerapps licensed.
I would like to learn power platform. how to best start? I need to make sure I have all options open to learn
You’ll find a bunch of tutorials I’ve done here, and also there are free learning resources on Microsoft Learn - aka.ms/learn
@@LisaCrosbie yes but it is reading only right.
fortunetelly I have account from my old university times will use it for learning.
thank you
Thanks for the video Lisa! Can I ask, if I get the PowerApps license, can it be use Microsoft 365 Business Standard or do I have to use it with Microsoft 365 Business Premium?
You can use Microsoft 365 Business Standard.

What is with Datverse coming with power apps in Teams?
What war the limitations in this case?
The main limitations with Dataverse for Teams are that the environment is capped at 2GB storage, and you can only build apps for use inside Teams (if you want standalone apps accessed outside Teams you need a full Power Apps license).
yeah!
Thank you so much for this video. From the first part of the demo, sounds like a user needs a Power Apps license to get access to a non-Default environment - can anyone confirm?
Yes, that’s true. If you are using the Microsoft 365 license you will only be using the Default environment
If I create a model driven app with a premium license, can my E5 users access the app and do data entry or do they need premium licenses to access the app?
Every user who uses the app will need a premium power apps license (per app if that’s the only one they use or per user if you have multiple apps that they use).
Why do they make it so complicated :D The official documentation is just impossible to decipher!
This is why I make these licensing videos 😉 (although to be fair there is a lot of detail and specifics underneath all this which is necessary in the official documentation - but I do this because most people just want the high level answers like this at least to get started).
Nice!
Thanks Scott 😊
Could not be any clearer...
YES, but they are crap!
bad answer to a nice question
