Custom connector license requirement

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by TB5 8

I have the following power automate licenses:

Does anyone know why I have access to custom connectors and on-premises connectors? Looking at the power platform licensing document, these are stated as premium features that require a power apps per user plan (which I don't have). Has anything changed with the licensing requirements for these capabilities?

    Hi @TB5 

     

    I noticed that you have Power Automate free license.

    People can gain access to the paid features of Power Automate by signing up for a Power Automate Trial license at no cost.

     

    Regarding the Power Automate license, here is the link for more reference:

    Best regards,

    Hi Sylvia,

     

    I notice in the page you posted regarding the free license it states:

    "The Power Automate Free license is included only for tracking purposes. As covered in the first section, it is not possible to prevent another person from using Power Automate for individual purposes. Thus, the presence of a Power Automate Free license does not actually grant or remove any capabilities."

     

    This does not explain why I currently have access to custom and on-premises connectors (which appear to be paid features).

    Hi @TB5 

     

    Please refer to the part as follows in the doc:

    Also, a standalone Power Apps license has access to custom connectors.

     

    Best regards,

    Sylvia
