How to Request a Premium Power Apps License from Organization Admins

Power Apps has added a new feature that allows users to directly request a license from their admin within the product. Users can now see the option to ‘Request a license’ if they are trying to run an app that requires a license, in addition to the ‘Buy a license’ or ‘Start a trial’ option (if eligible). Upon submitting a request, a confirmation message will appear at the top of the page indicating that the request has been successfully sent to their admin.

During an active trial, users can also request a license using the banner at the top of the page, which will display the number of days remaining in the trial.

Admins will be notified of all incoming licensing requests on the Microsoft 365 Home page and can approve or reject multiple requests at once and include a message for their users. Admins can also continue using their organization’s custom license request process and configure the appropriate settings in the Microsoft 365 Admin center.

For more information on how to manage all license requests and settings, users can refer to the documentation provided by Power Apps. The team is eager to receive feedback on this new feature.
