 # License requirements for entities
 
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> This topic is out-of-date and will be updated soon to reflect the latest licensing changes that are applicable starting October 1, 2019. For the latest information on licensing requirements for entities, see the [Power Apps licensing guide](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2085130).

+In some cases, entities contain complex business logic or are tied to customer engagement apps in Dynamics 365 (Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Marketing, or Project Service Automation) that require app users to have a specific license. This topic provides licensing information for entities with complex business logic and entities that are tied to Dynamics 365 apps (termed as restricted entities).
 
 ## Entities with complex business logic
-Entities that include the following complex server-side logic require users of an app or flow that uses these entities to have a Power Apps Plan 2 or Power Automate Plan 2 license:

     >  Only workflows that are converted to a real-time workflow are considered real-time and synchronous. Workflows that are run in the background can still be used with the appropriate Power Apps plan and do not require additional licenses.

For the list of entities which may contain server side logic after installing a model-driven application in Dynamics 365 (such as Dynamics 365 Sales or Dynamics 365 Customer Service), see [Complex entities requiring Power Apps Plan 2 licenses](data-platform-complex-entities.md)

 ### Impacting license requirements when adding complex business logic
+
 App makers can add code plug-ins and real-time workflows to entities within Common Data Service, but doing so could change the license requirements for users of apps already deployed. App makers should be cautious when adding complex business logic to an entity and should first check which apps use the entity and whether users of those apps have the appropriate licenses.
 
 ## Restricted entities
-Certain entities that are tied to the functionality of Dynamics 365 applications require app users to have the corresponding license for that application if they want to create, update, or delete records within the entities. For a full list of restricted entities, see [Restricted entities requiring Dynamics 365 licenses](data-platform-restricted-entities.md).
+
+Restricted entities are not standard entities within Common Data Service, but are included in one of the customer engagement apps in Dynamics 365 (Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Marketing, or Project Service Automation) or a third-party solution.

 ## Licensing examples
 Barb and Isaac are creating apps in Power Apps using Common Data Service to store their data.
 
-Barb is creating two canvas apps:
+### Entity creation
 
-* App 1 – uses the Appointment entity along with a custom entity that stores related information
-* App 2 – uses the Appointment entity along with the Incident entity, which is a restricted entity
+-	No user can create a new restricted entity; Microsoft reserves the right to create and define them for Dynamics 365 apps (such as Dynamics 365 Sales or Dynamics 365 Customer Service)
 
-Isaac is creating two model-driven apps:
+-	Users can create custom entities with Dynamics 365, Power Apps, or Power Automate license
 
-* App 3 – uses the Appointment entity along with a custom entity that stores related information
-* App 4 – uses the Appointment entity along with the Incident entity, which is a restricted entity
+-	For existing restricted entities, a user can add rows with the appropriate Dynamics 365 app license
 
-Barb and Isaac need the following licenses:
-* Barb needs a Power Apps Plan 1 license to create canvas apps using Common Data Service. If she needs to create a database or create a custom entity, she would need a Power Apps Plan 2 license.
+### Create apps using Power Apps
 
-* Isaac needs a Power Apps Plan 2 license to build model- driven apps.
+-	Barb and Isaac can create a canvas or model-driven app accessing restricted entities with a Dynamics 365 license
 
-App users need the following licenses:
-* App 1 users only need a Power Apps Plan 1 or Plan 2 license, since the app doesn't contain any entities with complex business logic or restricted entities.
+-	Barb and Isaac can create a canvas or model driven app accessing custom entities with either Dynamics 365 or Power Apps license
 
-* App 2 users need a Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Enterprise edition license (or a Dynamics 365 or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement plan), since the app includes a restricted entity.
+### Use apps
 
-* App 3 users need a Power Apps Plan 2 license, since it's a model-driven app.
+Barb wants to use two canvas apps:
+-	App 1 – uses the Appointment entity along with a custom entity that stores related information
 
-* App 4 users need a Dynamics 365 for Customer Service, Enterprise edition license (or a Dynamics 365 or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement plan), since the app includes a restricted entity.
+-	App 2 – uses the Appointment entity along with the Work Order entity, which is a restricted entity
 
-    The Dynamics 365 for Customer Service plan includes a Power Apps Plan 2 license, which allows users to run model-driven apps.
+Isaac wants to use two model-driven apps:
+-	App 3 – uses the Appointment entity along with a custom entity that stores related information
 
-Now, let's see what happens when Isaac adds a real-time workflow to the custom entity that both Barb and Isaac are using in their apps.
+-	App 4 – uses the Appointment entity along with the Work Order entity, which is a restricted entity
 
 Barb and Isaac need the following licenses:
-* Barb still needs a Power Apps Plan 1 license to create canvas apps using Common Data Service.
+- Barb can use App 1 with a Dynamics 365 app license or a Power Apps license.
 
-* Isaac still needs a Power Apps Plan 2 license to build model-driven apps.
+-	Barb can use App 2 only with a Dynamics 365 app license because there is a restricted entity accessed by the app.
 
-App users need the following licenses:
-* App 1 users now need a Power Apps Plan 2 license, since the app contains an entity with a real-time workflow.
+-	Isaac can use App 3 with a Dynamics 365 app license or a Power Apps license. 
 
-* App 2 users still need a Dynamics 365 for Customer Service, Enterprise edition license (or a Dynamics 365 or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement plan), since the app includes a restricted entity. 
+-	Isaac can use App 4 only with a Dynamics 365 app license because there is a restricted entity accessed by the app.
 
-* App 3 users still need a Power Apps Plan 2 license, since it's a model-driven app.
+### Create flows using Power Automate
 
-* App 4 users still need a Dynamics 365 for Customer Service, Enterprise edition license (or a Dynamics 365 or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement plan), since the app includes a restricted entity.
+Now, let's see what happens when Isaac adds a real-time workflow to the custom entity that both Barb and Isaac are using in their apps.
+-	Isaac can create a workflow accessing restricted entities with a Dynamics 365 app license
 
-    The Dynamics 365 for Customer Service plan includes a Power Apps Plan 2 license, which allows users to run model-driven apps.
+-	Barb and Isaac can create a workflow accessing custom entities with either Dynamics 365 app or Power Automate license 
+
+### Use flows
+-	Barb or Isaac can run the workflow accessing restricted entities with a Dynamics 365 app license
+
+-	Barb or Isaac can run the workflow accessing custom entities with either Dynamics 365 app or Power Automate license
 
-The only app impacted by this change is App 1, which previously required a Power Apps Plan 1 license, but now requires a Power Apps Plan 2 license, since it contains an entity with complex business logic.
