A question about Business Central availability
Microsoft announced the end of sales of Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premise last year.
Business Central Cloud is the only option for new customers after 4/1/2025 (if they wish to purchase Business Central) in most of the countries.
But how about China?
Does anyone know if Microsoft has a plan to release Business Central Cloud in China?
F.Y.I.
I have confirmed with the APOC operation team that the existing NAV customers are allowed to transition to Business Central on-premise after 4/1/2025.
The team directed me to this link as it has the latest information available:
Country/regional availability and supported languages - Business Central | Microsoft Learn
They also stated:
Starting April 2025, new customers will only be able to purchase BC on-premises through subscription licenses, not perpetual licenses. For more details, refer to the announcement: https://aka.ms/DPLmodel
However, customers purchasing through a CSP license can still deploy on-premises if they have specific conditions or reasons for it.
Regarding China, there are currently no plans for BC online.

Thank you for your feedback on China.
