How to Identify a Power Apps or Power Automate Premium License
Question details
The user needs to determine whether a specific Microsoft subscription SKU assigned to an account represents a Power Automate or Power Apps Premium license.
- Product
- Microsoft 365
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Reviewing account subscription details and trying to understand complex Microsoft 365 licensing SKUs.
- Observed behavior
- An ambiguous license name (PowerAppsPlan ShrdSvr ALNG SubsVL MVL PerUsr) appears in the account, leaving the user uncertain about their premium service entitlements.
Ensure you have global admin or billing admin access to the Microsoft 365 admin center for your tenant, as standard users cannot view detailed organization service plans.
Review Service Plans in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center
Check the detailed service plans nested beneath the license SKU in the admin center to see if Premium features are explicitly included.
License names and entitlements often vary based on your organization's specific agreement, tenant configuration, and the purchasing channel used.
To accurately identify what your SKU includes, you must review the assigned services manually.
Navigate to admin.microsoft.com and log in with your administrator credentials.
Go to the 'Billing' section in the left navigation menu and click on 'Licenses'.
Click on the specific license name (e.g., PowerAppsPlan ShrdSvr ALNG SubsVL MVL PerUsr) to view the breakdown of included apps and service plans.
Look for service plans specifically labeled as 'Power Automate Premium' or 'Power Apps Premium'. Compare these against the official Microsoft licensing documentation to confirm entitlements.
Consult the Dedicated Power Apps Community
Reach out to Microsoft licensing specialists in the dedicated community forum for an authoritative interpretation of ambiguous SKUs.
