Most Microsoft 365 services can be used with Windows 10, macOS, iOS/iPadOS, and Android, but the capabilities offered by each service aren’t consistent across those platforms. It’s important to understand these two potential scenarios when considering licensing and deployment of Microsoft 365 management and security services:
Power Platform is a marketing umbrella encompassing several services, including Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Virtual Agents, and Power BI. Each service is licensed separately, but other licenses such as Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 provide limited rights to use them, and each service provides some rights to use the other services.
Dynamics 365 is a family of on-premises products and online services that provides customer relationship management (CRM), sales, marketing, enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management, commerce (retail) management, and associated business functionality.
This evaluation kit brings together past reports and other Directions on Microsoft resources to help evaluate the updated services and provide guidance on how to manage the continual update life cycle and packaging and licensing changes.
