With assistance from your Microsoft partner, you can choose from two editions of pre-selected (packaged) software functionality available for Microsoft Dynamics AX. When you select an edition, you license the number of users you need to utilize the components. If you need functionality in addition to what's included in the edition you choose, you have the flexibility to add select components. The tables on this page compare what's available with the Business Essentials and Advanced Management editions, as well as add-on components.
