💡 A1 Dynamics Ltd Guidance:
In line with Microsoft’s updates, A1 Dynamics Ltd will also adjust our licensing and service pricing effective:
- October 1, 2023 – in line with Microsoft’s pricing changes.
- April 1, 2025 – to reflect the licensing model shift.
We remain committed to supporting both cloud and on-premises customers. While Microsoft continues to push a cloud-first strategy, on-premises solutions will still be supported. We encourage customers to assess whether a transition to Microsoft’s SaaS/cloud environment may better serve their future needs in terms of scalability, security, and flexibility.
