Licensing has a big impact on what you can build in Power Platform. It decides which features, connectors, and services you are allowed to use.
For example, without a premium license, you cannot use Dataverse or premium connectors like SQL Server or Salesforce. If your app is for external users, Power Pages has separate licensing rules.
Licensing also affects cost, storage capacity, AI usage limits, and how your solution can grow in the future. Choosing the wrong license can lead to redesign, delays, or unexpected expenses.
In real projects, licensing should always be reviewed before starting the architecture.
