Exactly How Can I Buy Additional Dataverse Capacity?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 120

Previously I was able to create environemnts for testing, and if I run out of storage I could just delete the unused environments.

I understand sometime ago Microsoft changed the storage model. It had been very confusing for me since.

Now when I go to PPAC->Capacity, all I see is 0 of 0MB used. Everything is 0MB.

If I try to create a new environment, even if without creating database, I get the error message saying "This environment can't be created because your org (tenant) needs at least 1 GB of database capacity. "

I tried to find ways of getting additional capacity but this is where it gets really confusing. MS docs goes all over the places, just doesn't give you a straigt answer of how you can buy additional capacity. Is it so difficult to just add a link on the Capacity page that takes user to the place to buy more capacity??? I also can't find and 'Dataverse' product in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.

 

I don't need Dynamics 365, if that is a prerequisite. All I need is to create a new environment to try out Power Pages.

 

Does anyone know how I can buy some capacity?

Thank you

    Microsoft have not managed to change the name from "Common Data Service" to "Dataverse" on the commercial licensing side, so the products you need to look for in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center are still called "Common Data Service Database Capacity" (needed for environments provisioning) and "Common Data Service File Capacity" (some of the 1st party apps from MS also consume this capacity for their web resources etc.).

    Here is the Docs page with the instructions on how to add Microsoft Dataverse storage capacity.
