Why via IOI

Licences are available everywhere. Advice is not.

The price of a Microsoft licence is the same at every partner. What differs is which licence ends up on the contract, and whether the funding programs you are entitled to actually get used.

Bridge to Cloud 3 with 30 % discount

If you move from Dynamics NAV or Business Central OnPremise to the cloud, you receive a 30 % discount on your subscriptions through the Microsoft program – for three years. We handle the registration for you; the registration deadline is 31.12.2027.

Parallel operation during the switchover

The program expressly allows you to continue using your existing system during the term. That fits our migration with Live-Sync exactly.

The right licence instead of the most expensive one

Essentials or Premium, full user or Team Member: we look at who in your company actually works with what before you sign.

One contact person for everything

Microsoft licences, Continia, ForNAV and SIEVERS DATEV come from the same place – and the same people look after your system afterwards.

Buy Business Central: all licences and prices at a glance

These are Microsoft’s list prices, net, as of September 2026. They are the same at every Microsoft partner. We list them in full because most price pages stop at Essentials and Premium and leave out exactly the items that come up during a project.

User licences, price per user and month

Licence Monthly, cancel anytime Annual term Three-year term

Premium € 114.36 € 100.07 € 100.07

Environments and database capacity

Item Monthly, cancel anytime Annual term
Additional environment € 311.88 / month € 272.90 / month

Database capacity, 100 GB € 519.84 / month € 454.86 / month
Capacity above the included quota, per GB € 5.16 / month € 4.52 / month

All figures are net, plus VAT. Prices for education and non-profit organisations on request. This list applies from September 2026 and expires as soon as Microsoft publishes a new one. What you actually need is something we work out with you beforehand.

Do you want to buy Business Central and replace an existing system at the same time? Then start with the ERP migration to Business Central, or – if things are stuck with your current partner – with a partner change. Why migration projects so often cost more than planned is the subject of RETHINK MIGRATION. Microsoft documents the licensing terms themselves in Licensing in Business Central.

Licensing questions

What customers ask before they sign.

How much does Business Central cost per user?

On an annual term, € 72.77 for Essentials, € 100.07 for Premium and € 7.25 for Team Members, net per user and month. Without a term commitment, cancellable monthly, Essentials is € 83.16.

What is the difference between Essentials and Premium?

Premium contains everything in Essentials plus the manufacturing and service management modules. For companies without their own production and without service handling, Essentials is enough.

When is a Team Members licence enough?

Team Members is meant for people who read data, update existing records, approve workflows, record project time and maintain their own data. Anyone who creates documents, posts entries or maintains master data needs a full licence.

What does an additional environment cost?

€ 272.90 per month on an annual term. Business Central already includes environments in the subscription; this item applies when you need one beyond that, for instance for a second company with its own database.

How much database capacity is included?

That depends on how many licences you hold; the storage grows with the number of users. If it is not enough, 1 GB costs € 9.14 and 100 GB € 454.86 per month, each on an annual term.

Are licences cheaper at IOI?

No – where you buy Business Central makes no difference to the list price. Microsoft’s list prices are the same at every partner, nobody negotiates those. Two things do lower the bill: Bridge to Cloud 3 with 30 % off for three years, and not giving a full licence to everyone who would be fine with Team Members.
