Typical problems

Typical problems with Microsoft licenses and how we solve them.

Do you recognize your company in one of these statements? Tap it to see what licensing consulting changes.

  1. In consulting

    Microsoft keeps changing its licensing models: new packages such as E7 are added, features move from add-ons into the suites, and AI is a fixed part of it. NAVAX knows the current models from Microsoft 365 through Azure to Dynamics 365 and translates them into a clear recommendation that fits your company.

  2. In consulting

    Some bought by credit card directly from Microsoft, some through one or two service providers, each with their own terms and durations. First, we create transparency across all contracts, terms and assignments. Then we form user groups based on actual need: someone who mainly uses email and Teams gets a different license than someone who works with Copilot every day.

  3. In consulting

    A typical picture from practice: 40 Copilot licenses bought, 15 people actively using them. We measure actual usage, for example with Copilot Chat Analytics, and check what your packages already include. Microsoft Purview in E5, for example, covers compliance requirements that would otherwise be paid for with a separate tool. Whatever nobody needs, we reduce.

From practice

Not the single license, but the combination.

The biggest savings are often not in individual licenses but in how the licenses are best combined with each other.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Microsoft licensing consulting.

What companies most often want to know before licensing consulting.

What does Microsoft licensing consulting do for our company?

Afterwards, you only pay for licenses your employees actually need, and you use what your packages already include. NAVAX reviews contracts, terms and per-user assignments across Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Azure and security and gives you a specific recommendation per user group.

When is the right time for licensing consulting?

Ideally 3 to 6 months before your next renewal. That leaves time to reassign user groups and choose terms deliberately before you commit again. A second good occasion is the rollout of Copilot.

We work with several Microsoft service providers. Is that a problem?

Not in principle, but savings potential is often left on the table. Each partner optimizes its own area, while the biggest savings often arise where Microsoft 365, Azure, Dynamics 365 and security work together. Our licensing consulting gives you that view across all products.

How can we see whether our Copilot licenses pay off?

Copilot Chat Analytics shows you which teams actively use Copilot and where training is needed. That way, you decide based on data whether to reduce licenses, reassign them or train your team. Copilot Chat can also be enabled and disabled per user. That helps when AI has to be justified as a separate budget item.

What are attach licenses in Dynamics 365?

Attach licenses are discounted add-on licenses for users who already have a Dynamics 365 base license. For example, Sales can be added to Business Central Premium at a much lower price than with a separate base license. For companies running ERP and CRM from Microsoft, this is often where the greatest savings potential lies.

How much effort does the Quick Licensing Check take for our team?

A 30-minute initial call about the Microsoft products you use, upcoming renewals and future requirements is all it takes to start.

How much potential is there in your licenses?

In the free Quick Licensing Check, our license manager looks at your license structure and shows you where savings and synergies between your Microsoft products are possible. No obligation, with specific recommendations for your company.
