How Much Does Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 Cost? and How Much Does Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC Cost?

Hello from Umesh, I normally get calls and pings for Cost on NAV 2016 vs D365 BC, So I will today discuss on costing of NAV 2016 and Dynamics 365 BC.

Normally these question i get on weekly basis. 

How Much Does Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 Cost? and How Much Does Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC Cost?

Once you check out this blog you will be able to get clear picture on  Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 license  Subscription Licensing cost and Microsoft Dynamics NAV Cloud Pricing.

Also you will know Dynamics 365 BC  license  Subscription Licensing cost.

Let's start with "Old is Gold" Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016:

As we all know Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 functionality is delivered through the Starter Pack and the Extended Pack.

So, Starter Pack gives you core financials and distribution functionality. where as the optional and additive Extended Pack adds functionality that integrates core financials and distribution management capabilities with industry specific functionality.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 offers two types of access licenses : Concurrent Client Access Licenses

(CALs), only available under the Perpetual Licensing model, and User Subscription Access Licenses

(SALs), only available under the Subscription Licensing model. 

Costing

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 cloud pricing ranges from $185 to $400 per user per month. The number of users and functionality (Starter Pack or Extended Pack) drive the final price. 

Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC (Business Central)

Well BC has two versions Essentials and Premium

With the Essentials version of Business Central, you get stable business functionality across finance, supply chain management, CRM, HR and much more.

So cost of Full user Essentials Dynamics 365 Business Central costs is $70 per named user per month.

Lets understand Full user Premium

The 'Premium' version of Business Central consists of all the functionality of the Essentials version, but enhances the ERP application with two additional efficient components, service management and production.

So cost of Full user Premium Dynamics 365 Business Central  license costs $100 per named user per month.

More details on Full User:

A 'Full User' license is for those employees whose work requires that they have access to the functionality-rich business applications. It may be employees who work with sales, customer service, finance or supply chain management. 'The 'full user' license is the type of license previously known as 'Pro User' license. Full users are licensed per named user base through a Business Central subscription and may be either on the Essentials or Premium version of Business Central.

And Team Member

The Team Member license can often represent a significant proportion of users in a company. These users may need to consume data or reports from the business system, complete less demanding tasks such as time or expense imports and HR updates. Business Centrals team member license may also be for heavier users of the system, who does not require full user functionality. These additional users can be licensed with Dynamics 365 Business Central Team Members.

Happy BC-ing!
