Per-User Subscription Pricing

This ERP uses named-user or concurrent-user licensing. You pay a monthly or annual fee for each person who accesses the system. Cost scales directly with headcount — adding users increases your subscription. Most cloud ERPs use this model. Negotiating based on committed user count and contract length typically secures better rates. Be sure to understand which users need 'full' access vs 'limited' access, as vendors often price these tiers differently.

About Microsoft Dynamics NAV Pricing

Dynamics NAV is a legacy product and its pricing has to be read that way. New implementations can no longer be licensed — NAV was succeeded by Dynamics 365 Business Central — but existing customers can still buy additional licences. The legacy perpetual figures are around $7,200 for the Starter Pack covering three full-access users and around $14,400 for the Extended Pack, with some sources quoting lower historical figures around $5,000 and $10,000. Annual enhancement or support sits on top at roughly 16 to 19 percent of licence value. The genuinely important cost question for a NAV customer in 2026 is not the licence but the migration: mainstream support has ended for older versions, so the realistic choice is paying to stay on an unsupported platform or budgeting a Business Central migration at $80 to $110 per user per month plus implementation.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Pricing FAQs

How much does Dynamics NAV cost?

Legacy perpetual pricing was around $7,200 for the Starter Pack with three full users and around $14,400 for the Extended Pack, plus roughly 16 to 19 percent annual enhancement. Some sources quote lower historical figures around $5,000 and $10,000.

Can I still buy Dynamics NAV?

Not for a new implementation. NAV was superseded by Dynamics 365 Business Central. Existing NAV customers can still purchase additional licences for their current deployment, which is the only route left.

Should I stay on NAV or move to Business Central?

Mainstream support has ended for older NAV versions, so staying carries a growing compliance and security cost rather than a licensing one. Business Central at $80 to $110 per user per month plus implementation is the supported path, and most partners will quote the migration as a project.

What does a NAV to Business Central migration cost?

Typically $20,000 to $200,000 depending on how heavily customised your NAV environment is. Customisation carry-over is the dominant variable — a heavily modified NAV instance costs far more to move than a near-standard one.

Is a perpetual NAV licence still worth anything?

It reduces the cost of staying, not the cost of moving. Microsoft offers transition paths that credit existing licences toward Business Central subscriptions, so the licence retains some value in a migration — ask your partner to price both routes explicitly.
