The Partner Sandbox license gives access to Business Central Premium functionality by activating Premium experience on each D365 BC (Business Central) environment. On the Company Information page, on the User Experience Fast Tab, select Premium in the Experience field.
IMPORTANT: The subscription (includes 5 seats which is minimum) acquired through the Dynamics 365 Business Central Partner Sandbox license are strictly meant for use only on the partner’s tenant. You are not allowed to use this license in a customer tenant, nor as a production environment.
Use the Partner Sandbox license for a Microsoft 365 account that does not currently have a Business Central license.
• The subscription will not increase the number of your D365 BC SaaS (Software as a Service) Sandbox environments, you will continue to use 1 production environment + 3 sandboxes.
• For additional production/sandbox environments you will need to activate the Dynamics 365 Business Central Additional Environment Add-on which will increase with 1 Prod+ 3 sandboxes for each active Add-on activated on for your AAD.
• Alternatively, use the Partner Sandbox license to replace existing Business Central licenses in an existing environment; however, the license will not give you any additional environments on top of the environments you already had. Partners can purchase the unique, partner-only license via Web Direct to create flexible, cost-effective solutions that do not expire.
Please inform Licensing once you have the Dynamics 365 Business Central Partner Sandbox license active and we will provide you with a link to activate LS Central Application.
