How to activate Azure Active Directory Licensing (AAD Licensing)

The following step-by-step instructions show how to enable the Azure Active Directory (AAD) Licensing for our add-ons. This allows you to consider licenses assigned in the Office 365 portal rather than only security roles assigned in your DataVerse.

AAD licensing is required for scenarios where PowerApps Per app, PowerApps per User or Team Member licenses are utilized. (see How licenses are counted for details).

Please note: To activate the AAD (Azure Active Directory) Licensing, you need administration rights. Have a look at the corresponding blog article “Licensing Guide for Microsoft Dynamics 365“.

Open your Dynamics 365 Advanced Settings, navigate to the MSCRM-ADDONS section (highlighted below) and select the product you want to activate the AAD Licensing for. This activation process has to be done for each product separately. Depending on which of our solutions you choose, the main configuration window will provide you with different tabs.

For example, if you select DocumentsCorePack (DCP), the main configuration window looks like in the figure below. To activate the AAD Licensing for DCP:

❶ Navigate to the “License Server” tab.
❷ Hit the [Enable AAD Licensing] button.

Please note: If you do not have an Azure administrator account available, you can use this URL and ask your admin to consent. Once done, repeat the steps.

Your Administrator only has to replace the placeholder [AAD TenantId] with the actual ID of your AAD Tenant or with the domain name of the tenant.

If the process was successful, you will be linked to our website showing the information below.
