Licensing Cost For Power Platform Environment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello All,

 

My organization is having o365 E3 License to all users. I have to develop a PowerApp Canvas App in the default environment. The canvas app is connected to SharePoint as its datasource and there is NO premium connector used in the App or in any Flow. Now we need to have ALM for this application and we are thinking of having a STG and PRD environment dedicated ONLY for this application. Now with only e3 License I am unable to create a new environment of Type Production and get the error message saying capacity of at least 1GB is required. I need to know the minimum amount of license i need to purchase or the best way forward to go with ALM. We are ok Purchasing 1 or 2 Power Automate Premium license. Would that be sufficient though? Here are my questions if anyone can help:

 

  1. What should be my Environment Type for STG and PRD?
  2. Since I am going to import solutions in STG and PRD do the environment I create need to have Dataverse data store?
  3. What all license should i purchase to be able to achieve ALM capabilities ?
  4. Without developing the app how will i know how much storage will it be utilizing (I am not using dataverse for this canvas app) and the right amount of licenses such that I successfully be able to deploy app in a PRD Environment without worrying about storage

    With 1 power automate premium license i get only 250MB capacity. That will be short of 1GB right? Are you sure with 1 Automate premium license i would be able to create 2 environments and deploy my app such that my company users will be able to use it

    What should be my Environment Type for STG and PRD?

    STG: Can be still snadbox and PRd of type production.

     

    Since I am going to import solutions in STG and PRD do the environment I create need to have Dataverse data store?

    Yes, you need environments with dataverse. 

     

    What all license should i purchase to be able to achieve ALM capabilities ?

    If you are doing to use 1 account to deploy solutions manually (I assume), you need license for that account is enough.

     

    Without developing the app how will i know how much storage will it be utilizing (I am not using dataverse for this canvas app) and the right amount of licenses such that I successfully be able to deploy app in a PRD Environment without worrying about storage

    You can always purchase additional storage without getting licenses. In your case you mightn't need if you are not using any dataverse capabilities.
