Dynamics 365 Licensing Enforcement Advent Calendar

A large part of the year 2025, I spent time on the upcoming user license enforcement for Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O. This involved both working with clients and spending time to help out in the community and the Viva Engage feedback forums.

Now we are coming to the end of the year and reaching (again) the date when license enforcement starts, I have one wish: All I want for Christmas is…. a correctly functioning license report for Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O users.

During the Advent period, each day in December, I will share some thoughts and tips related to the Dynamics 365 user license enforcement. If you have questions about this topic, feel free to contact me via LinkedIn, the comments section below, or the contact form on this blog. I will then either update one of the planned blogs for the coming 24 days or answer questions in a new post.

The contents will become available on each day in December at 0:00 CET. Then you can unlock the door with access to the content.
