Free and Discounted Dynamics 365 Licensing for Microsoft Partners and ISVs


Lately, I have had many new Business Central partners reach out looking to see how they can get free or discounted Dynamics 365 Licensing. 

With Business Central, and new in Fall 2025, partners can get the following amounts of discounted Business Central partner licensing. The licensing is as low as $6/user/month and billed monthly. The number of free discounted sandboxes partners can get is listed below. 

There are also free and discounted licensing to other Dynamics 365 products. 

For more information see below and this link, which is the same link to be able to order the licensing from Microsoft. You must have a MPN partner account number to qualify.

Business value

This feature gives partner organizations more capacity to develop, test, and validate solutions. By scaling sandbox quotas with license growth, partners can accelerate innovation and improve quality assurance for customer deployments.

Feature details

Partner organizations using the partner sandbox license now receive additional sandbox environments based on their license count:

  • 5 partner sandbox licenses = 1 production + 3 sandbox environments
  • 10 partner sandbox licenses = 1 production + 6 sandbox environments
  • 15 partner sandbox licenses = 1 production + 9 sandbox environments
  • and so on.

This enhancement ensures that as partners expand their development teams, they have sufficient sandbox environments to support multiple projects, test customizations, and validate integrations. It eliminates the need for workarounds and provides a predictable, scalable model for environment allocation.
