Getting Word Online (Business) connectors

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by msabau 270

Hi, I hope this is the right section. I've looked around the Internet, but Microsoft's licensing world is very confusing.

Right now, I have a Microsoft 365 Business Standard license and I can use all standard connectors.

I need the Word Online connector "Populate word document", which is premium, but I don't know what license I should get or even how to do it.

I also wanted to know if only I need to get an upgraded license, since I'm the developer, or if we would have to get a new license for all the users of our apps too.

Thank you

    Hey @msabau so I fully agree, Microsoft's licensing is a mess. 

     

    The simplest answer: You need either a per user or per flow license to be able to use the premium connectors on Power Automate. Per user plan should also work with Power Apps

     

    Here's a nice brief of what the different user licenses allow, check to see if any of these apply to you:

    Just keep in mind the API limits that are attached to the different licensing (yes, because the existing licensing isn't complicated enough). API limits don't refer to the number of HTTP requests... Nay nay... They refer to every single action you use in a flow:

    Yeah, navigating licenses is tough work, in fact still don't understand what license would be needed to make all users who will use my app able to use it. I mean it's just due to a single premium connector, why is this so complicated?

    If your users have an E1, E3 or E5 license, they can use it without any additional licensing. If you are going to have a lot of users constantly using your app then consider a per app license for the app, then users don't need licensing. 

     

    You ask really good questions - we've been wondering the same. It is unnecessarily complicated.
