Microsoft Dynamics GP Lifecycle and Licensing Changes

May 11, 2023

Microsoft announced GP licensing changes and price increases.


  • NEW CUSTOMER SALES Microsoft will be stopping new customer license sales starting April 1, 2026. This has no implications for existing customers as they can continue to purchase new licenses and modules beyond 2026.
  • NEXT GP RELEASE There will be tax and other product updates for Dynamics GP, including some awesome features already planned for 18.6 due to release October 2023.
  • SUPPORT The support life cycle remains as is posted today (and has not changed) – “2028 & beyond” (Please note that all Microsoft products shows only 5 year long roadmap)
  • LICENSING PRICING The price of subscription and perpetual licenses are going up as of October 2023. If you need additional GP user licenses, this is the time to take advantage of lower price.
  • ENHANCEMENT PLAN RATES Enhancement plan rates are increasing from 17% to 18% and Advantage plan from 19% to 20%.

Microsoft Dynamics GP Lifecycle

Microsoft's recently published Lifecycle Roadmap indicates Dynamics GP is not going anywhere anytime soon. With the roadmap extending to at least 2028, we can see there is active development and support planned for many years to come. You can read more about the lifecycle policies for Dynamics GP on Microsoft's Support for Microsoft Dynamics GP Document.
