"Add-on allocation for Microsoft Flow, PowerApps, and AI Builder is now available" blog post

Received blog post notification last night - has since been updated as of this morning:

https://us.flow.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/add-on-allocation-for-powerapps-microsoft-flow-and-ai-builder-is-now-available/

 

Anyone else confused about what the hell they are doing with the licensing for Flow? The first version of the post (dated 10/8) mentioned something about the SQL connector going to premium - and a grace period until next MSFT agreement or fall 2020 for any existing flows.  Both of these statements are super concerning - but were simply removed from the 10/15 version of the post.

 

No clue what the hell is going on with MSFT flow, but I'm sick of the routine added complication and expense.  If a company acquires a  SQL server license - why the hell would they need pay (again) for the ability to connect to it?  Absurd.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    What's your current Flow license?

    There SQL server is a standard connector, it is no need to pay to use the connector. But if you want to use Flow to connect the local SQL server, it will use the on-premises data gateway, it will require a Flow plan.

     

    For more license detail, you can check this document:
