Checking licences against each person's access
The organisation runs Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, and Dynamics 365 Sales. Before connecting Subble, it was already running Flexera and had used it to audit licences. The customer knew some licences weren't right, but didn't have a way to check each person's licence against their security roles.
Where Subble found the savings
Subble identified $391k a year in Dynamics 365 savings from unused licences and people paying for more access than they needed. None of these findings had been identified in the organisation's prior Flexera audit. The Dynamics 365 recommendations account for 81% of the $480k a year in savings identified across Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and Adobe.
$211k a year identified in inactive licences
Subble identified 187 inactive Finance and Operations licences with no Dynamics 365 activity in more than 90 days, accounting for $195k a year in savings. Another 45 inactive Sales licences had no Sales access for an average of 213 days and accounted for $16k a year in savings.
Subble records each person's Dynamics 365 sign ins and the records they create and update day by day. When that activity stops, the licence shows up as unused.
131 people can move to cheaper licences
Subble identified 131 people whose security roles show they need only Operations Activity or Team Members. Most can move from Finance to Operations Activity, which costs about a quarter as much. Of those, 110 also use a Sales attach licence (an add on licence) tied to their Finance and Operations licence. When they move to the cheaper base licence, they need standalone Sales Enterprise to replace Sales attach.
Unassigned licences
Subble also identified $101k a year in savings from 118 licences the organisation had bought but hadn't assigned.
Subble keeps checking as licence needs change
Subble keeps checking as people's roles change, people leave or licences stop being used. A licence that's no longer needed shows up straight away rather than at the next renewal.
“We were told we needed more licences and now we can see that no, we didn't. Seeing it in front of us is great because there was no transparency with the data.”
Figures are as at 12 October 2026.
