Few days before the Microsoft World Partner Conference in Boston, Microsoft announced the " Business Ready Licensing Model" for Microsoft Dynamics business management solutions. The difference with previous license model is that the basis is moved from modules and granules towards concurrent users who actually use the products.
Three license models are available:

• Microsoft Dynamics Business Essentials
• Microsoft Dynamics Advanced Management
• Microsoft Dynamics Advanced Management Enterprise

Microsoft Dynamics Business Essentials: This offering is an integrated, powerful financial and supply chain management solution that is designed for companies that need a core financial management and trade solution that will enable them to easily scale as their business grows.
Microsoft Dynamics Advanced Management:the preferred solution for growing customers who need complex, highly functional financial and accounting programs and who are looking for an adaptive solution to manage advanced processes for their financials, supply chain management, manufacturing and project accounting needs. It also helps them obtain the key business intelligence and reporting required to manage their organization.
Microsoft Dynamics Advanced Management Enterprise:For organizations with complex needs, Advanced Management Enterprise extends the Advanced Management Edition by providing a rich set of advanced supply chain management, field service, configuration, manufacturing and development capabilities on a flat-fee basis.

In addition, Microsoft Dynamics CRM customer relationship management functionality will be included on the Microsoft Business Solutions price lists over the next 12 months.
Business Ready Licensing is focused on new customers. Customers not licensed under Business Ready Licensing today will have the choice to stay on their current licensing model (modular-based licensing) or make the transition to Business Ready Licensing when it makes sense for them.
