    New in Power Automate: Slascone

    Slascone is now a Power Automate connector. Slascone is licensing for software and IoT vendors

    Today for the first time, Slascone was added as a Power Automate connector, bringing the total number of Power Automate connectors to 331.

    This connector allows you to connect your Slascone customer records to any other Microsoft service using the Power Automate services. Currently, it has a trigger on when customers are added, meaning you can use this as an event to cause your automation to play.

    For actions, the only things present are customer creation and customer updates. You can use the Slascone connector to sync up your customer records with records in Excel, Common Data Service, or any other service through the connectors.

    Additionally, you could use another action (for example an email or internal workflow) that can automate the creation of customers inside Slascone. Using this, you could make a very nice automated onboarding process for new customers.

    What is Slascone?

    Slascone is license management software-as-a-service for developers of software products. Because licensing is hard and is the focal point for hackers it’s a good idea to have a vendor help ensure your licensing needs are secure at least until such point that your organization is large enough to roll your own solution.

  • Planning for Dynamics 365 License Changes

    Planning for Dynamics 365 License Changes

    Starting tomorrow (October 1, 2019) the way Dynamics 365 is licensed is changing. These changes will apply on your next annual renewal and represent a big change from how the products used to be licensed.
    Understanding how things used to work

    Prior to this change, Dynamics 365 was licensed on a selection “One Size Fits All” packages. Depending on what applications and features you needed, your accounts were licensed according to different bundles that would provide as much or more than needed for your account to function.

    For example, if you needed to access Field Service and Sales, your only option was to purchase the Customer Engagement Plan, which would also give you access to Customer Service and Project Service Automation.

    Now its a pay-per-app model

    With the changes launched on October 1, pricing moves to a Base plus Attach model for licensing in which a Base application is selected and then one or more Attach licenses can be added to it to determine costs.

    In this new model, many businesses can save costs in some areas and see price increases in others. Due to the way licensing is assigned, these costs may not always be clear.

    Announcing the Dynamics 365 License Planner

    In order to help you understand how these licensing changes impact you, we are releasing a Dynamics 365 License Planner tool to help you build your license plan and understand how your users will need to be licensed upon renewal.
