I need to create a dataverse database. I need to get licenses since I am getting the message that the user does not have a license that allows environment creation when I try to create a database in the url admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com.
Thanks,
I have a office 365 account
Hi @dataverse ,
There are two primary licenses you would look at here...
Full details available in licensing guide: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=2085130&clcid=0x409
I have attached a screenshot. Does this mean that I do not have admin access to create the dataverse database.
I have to migrate a big access db to dataverse. Do I need to use teams or standalone dataverse as shown in my screenshot above.
You will need to have a license to create the environment and normally you would setup your role in Azure Active Directory as "Power Platform Administrator". This will allow you to create the environment.
Assigning the Power Apps Per App license to the user is a bit different if that is what you have purchased... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/about-powerapps-perapp
As far as Dataverse for Teams vs. Dataverse, please review the following discussing differences. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/teams/data-platform-compare
Normally if I am replacing Access databases I am using model-based Power Apps which will require a full Dataverse (get with licenses like Power Apps Per User and Power Apps Per App) vs. the Dataverse for Teams (which comes with many of the Office 365 licenses).
I am trying to migrate access to dataverse. And according to the documentation it can be done from access if there is a dataverse connector in access and for that I need to update Access build to 16.0.15128.20248 or later, and restart Access to take advantage of the Access Connector for Dataverse and Power Platform. I am unable to find a KB download for that. Is that download available. I will post a seperate question.

Hi @ChrisPiasecki ,
Can you reply here to @dataverse on the migration from Access to Dataverse? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/migrate-access-to-dataverse
Hi @dataverse,
It depends what update channel your organization is setup on for M365 Apps for Enterprise. If you're on the current or monthly enterprise channel, you will already have the minimum version that has the Dataverse connector in Access. If you're on the semi-annual channel, then you won't get it until Jan 2023. Here are steps on how to verify what update channel you're on.
