Between November and December 2025, Microsoft updated the Dynamics 365 licensing guide with an important clarification around storage capacity—especially for ERP customers.

If you use Dynamics 365 Finance, Supply Chain, Commerce, or HR, this change is worth understanding.

What’s changed in simple terms?

In December 2025, enterprise licenses such as Customer Service and Sales now include:

• 30 GB Dataverse database (up from 10 GB)
• 40 GB Dataverse file storage (up from 20 GB)
• 2 GB Dataverse log storage

Customer Insights includes even more:

• 45 GB database
• 60 GB file storage
• 4 GB log storage

Dataverse is intended for:

• Power Automate flows
• Copilot experiences
• Integrations and lightweight extensions

Operations (ERP) storage – now clearly defined

For the first time, Microsoft explicitly documents ERP storage:

• Dynamics 365 Finance / Supply Chain / Commerce
  • 90 GB Operations database
  • 80 GB Operations file storage
• Finance Premium / Supply Chain Premium
  • 125 GB Operations database
  • 110 GB Operations file storage
• Human Resources
  • 90 GB database
  • 80 GB file storage

Why this matters

• Prevents storing ERP data in the wrong place
• Reduces unexpected Dataverse storage costs
• Improves cost predictability for ERP programs
• Sets clear guidance on where data should live

Final takeaway

This isn’t just a licensing update—it’s architectural guidance.

ERP data belongs in Operations.
Dataverse supports processes around it.

Understanding this now will save both money and redesign effort later.
