How to Remove a Premium Component from a Power Apps App
Question details
The user wants to find and remove a premium component in a Power Apps application that is triggering a premium license message when attempting to add new users.
- Product
- Microsoft Power Apps
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Adding a new user to a Power Apps app and encountering a block due to an unseen premium component.
- Observed behavior
- A premium component message appears referencing a table that cannot be easily found, preventing standard users from accessing the app without a premium license.
Before making changes or deleting connections in your app, ensure you have saved a backup copy of your Power Apps project and verified your current Microsoft 365 licensing plan.
Identify and Remove Premium Data Connections
Check your app's data sources for premium connectors (like Dataverse or SQL Server) and remove them to revert the app to standard licensing.
Premium components are usually tied to the data sources your app connects to. Identifying the connector with a premium badge is the first step to resolving licensing prompts.
Navigate to Power Apps Studio and open your affected application in Edit mode.
Click on the 'Data' icon (shaped like a cylinder) on the left-hand sidebar to view all active data sources.
Scroll through your data connections and look for any connector designated with a small diamond icon. This diamond signifies a premium component.
Click the ellipses (...) next to the premium data source and select 'Remove'. Save and publish your app to apply the changes.
Consult the Microsoft Power Apps Community
If you cannot locate the hidden premium component or referenced table manually, seek help from Power Apps specialists.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Power Apps app say it requires a premium license?
This message appears if your app uses premium connectors, such as Microsoft Dataverse, SQL Server, or custom HTTP APIs, which are not included in the standard Microsoft 365 licensing plans.
How can I tell which connector is premium in Power Apps?
In the Power Apps Studio Data pane, premium connectors are clearly marked with a small diamond icon next to their name.
Can I replace a premium connector with a standard one?
Yes, if your app's data requirements are relatively simple, you can migrate your backend data from a premium source (like Dataverse) to a standard source (like SharePoint lists), and then remap your app's connections.
