From 15 January 2026, Microsoft will begin enforcing user licensing for Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management. Unlicensed users will be blocked from accessing production environments, creating potential disruption in finance, procurement, inventory, and supply chain processes. 

Many organisations are already aware of the changes — but the details, exemptions, and practical steps can still feel unclear. Over the past months, we’ve collected the most common questions from our customers and gathered answers based on Microsoft’s guidance and our own experience. While some points remain to be clarified, one thing is certain: staying compliant matters regardless of when enforcement happens.
