Lisensing cost for iscrapbook5/3/2023 ![]() In practice, Per App licensing management remains a nightmare that has surely cost customers (and partners) lots of money in time spent figuring out who’s got access to apps, why someone doesn’t, and how much licenses are actually being used. If there was a quick & easy way to assign, unassign and report on the Per App subscription licenses, it would clearly be tempting to save 50% and pay with the old model rather than PAYG. Now with the new options, you can either pay $5 per user per app per month in the subscription model, or pay $10 for the exact same features but only for those months when a user opens the app. At the same time the Per App entitlements were updated to cover a single app, rather than up to 3 different apps (existing customers have been compensated with 3x passes). So, which one should you go for then with your Power Apps that use premium features? Subscription model or PAYG? First we must keep in mind that the recent 50% price drop in Power Apps subscription plans took the price of a Per App license down from $10 to $5. With the regular Per App subscription plan, the pass allocated upon the initial app sharing to the user and isn’t revoked until the app is explicitly unshared. The major difference is that at the end of the month, the PAYG pass is removed from the user until he/she opens the app again. I believe that underneath the covers the PAYG Per App plan and the regular Per App plan are mostly identical. Mixing PAYG with Per App subscription plan isn’t allowed, though. However, you can exclude specific apps from the model and require their users to have a Power Apps Per User license instead. PAYG is specified on environment level, by defining a billing policy and selecting which environments are included in it. Also the discounts customers may have negotiated based on their Azure spend will presumably apply to Power Apps, too. Even if the PAYG model wouldn’t be cheaper in practice, having Power Apps license costs show up in existing reports on Azure Cost Management side will make it less of an unfamiliar beast to IT and developers. Having an official “exchange rate” that converts these new low-code tools managed on the Microsoft 365 side into tools and terminology compatible with the pro-dev work already done in Azure is key step in selling the Fusion Teams story to organizations. Once it’s included, though, there’s plenty of practical benefits for using these as opposed to some fancy new cloud service that might come along. Getting something new like Power Apps premium licenses included into the IT portfolio available to the business users can take a lot of time and effort. ![]() Licensing agreements are both an enabler and a blocker for Microsoft cloud services, especially on enterprise level. This is something that most larger organizations will already have in their virtual cash reserves, which makes it considerably easier to spend on services. Rather it’s the currency in which you pay for it: Azure money. PAYG and Azureĭespite of its name, the biggest impact from the Power Apps pay-as-you-go plans isn’t necessarily the pricing model. Here’s a few thoughts and observations on what was announced & updated on the licensing front. The biggest announcement of course was the pay-as-you-go licensing model (PAYG) for Power Apps: ![]() Classes cost $12 for those who give advanced notice they are coming and $15 for classes the day of the event.The second Microsoft Ignite event of 2021 included several important updates on a topic that I cover regularly on this blog: Microsoft Business Applications licensing. Special classes are also available on Saturdays. Classes are taught by Leanna Lowell of Cambridge once a month and a special guest teacher will have the other class night each month. “They want to see it (the items in her store) so it’s worth the trip for them,” she said.Īpplegate credits her business to her social media presence and her posts on Facebook where she announces each month’s classes.Ĭlasses are held every second and fourth Thursday of the month in the back of her shop from 6 to 9 p.m. She said she uses small, independent dealers and doesn’t have to sell what the big box stores sell - that’s what makes her products unique. ![]() She said she gets visitors from far away places because her shop is one of the largest independent scrapbooking stores left in the United States. She said customers come from all over Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Florida and even as far as Washington state. Her customers come from all over to find her one-of-a-kind, unique finds in scrapbooking, rubber stamping and paper crafting.
