When you upgrade on-premises deployments to this update, you and
your customers must use a new license that convers more scenarios than the one
for the original release in October 2018.
Why this new license?
In cumulative update 1 (CU 1), we have enabled new licensing
scenarios so that Business Central is optimized for licenses with named users.
This was not fully supported in the RTM version that was made available on
October 1, 2018, and that is why CU 1 requires a new license. You can pull new
licenses when you upgrade customers to CU 1.
The new licenses are required for cumulative update 1 and later
versions of Business Central and are not backwards compatible with earlier
versions of Business Central.
What has changed?
With CU 1, Business Central supports the product line IDs 49,
74, 75, and 76 for named users. See Microsoft
Dynamics 365 Business Central Pricing and Licensing for more information.
