Power Automate Licensing Query

Hi All, 

 

I have created a solution that lets users spin up Azure Virtual Machine by adding an entry in the SharePoint list . Based on the parameters entered, the flow will be triggered and it uses premium azure connectors to create the Azure Virtual Machine.

 

Our company is a 1000+ member company(Fully licensed with Office 365 E5) and users don't spin up VMs that often. Since the flow is using a premium connector, can I still go ahead with just 1 Per User license(Service Account) or is it necessary to license every user(1000+) even though they may spin up the VM once in a year ? 

 

Reason for asking this is , licensing every user with per user license will be a huge cost considering that they will just invoke the flow once in a year . We don't intent to use Per Flow license as we just have one flow and for procuring Per flow license, the minimum requirement is to buy 5 such licenses which costs 500USD/month. 

 

Thanks in Advance !

    @Rajesh365 what is the trigger of your flow, if its automated trigger, then you only need license for the user who created the flow, as the flow will run with the user account who created the flow, so that you dont need to buy license for each user, or does your flow need anything that requires context of user for whom the VM is created?
