We are excited to announce an enhanced experience for managing capacity-based licenses<\/strong> to streamline administrative tasks and optimize resource usage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective Dataverse capacity management is a key priority for IT and business administrators. With the latest updates to the Power Platform Admin Center, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Capacity management is now more streamlined and flexible, offering admins precise control over resource allocation <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Pay-as-You-Go (PayGo) option<\/a> is now available to enable scalability<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The foundation of the enhanced capacity management experience lies in granular allocation<\/strong>. Admins can now pre-allocate Dataverse capacity directly to specific environments, ensuring business units and teams operate with the resources they need while maintaining independence from other workloads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, in a tenant shared by multiple business units, you can now guarantee a specific amount of capacity being available to a given unit. This prevents resource conflicts and ensures that critical workloads receive priority. Admins no longer need to manually monitor or redistribute resources as demands evolve. Instead, capacity can automatically be drawn from the tenant pool for environments with higher demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This precision-driven approach ensures optimal resource usage across the tenant, eliminating inefficiencies like overprovisioning and underutilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While pre-allocation provides robust control, unexpected surges in demand can still occur. To address these situations, the Power Platform Admin Center now seamlessly integrates a Pay-as-You-Go (PayGo)<\/strong> option with the allocation experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The new experience also supports Microsoft Copilot Studio, providing a streamlined approach to managing message capacity. This integration ensures that admins can efficiently manage messaging workloads alongside other capacity resources, further enhancing overall system flexibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When environments approach their allocated capacity limits, admins receive proactive notifications and can choose how to address overages: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
