RouteCTRL™ Licensing
How RouteCTRL™ Licensing Works
The licensing structure for RouteCTRL for Microsoft Dynamics 365 consists of the core required RouteCTRL license complemented by an array of optional feature add-ons.
Core License (Required)
The core RouteCTRL license pertains to the RouteCTRL module embedded into Dynamics 365. It is an annual subscription with monthly pricing.
This license activates the core RouteCTRL functionality within Dynamics 365 to calculate, plan and generate transport routes using advanced, location-aware, enterprise-grade route calculation technology. The base license permits the calculation of up to 5,000 shipments per month, where a shipment refers to a single delivery or pickup point on a calculated route.
Licenses are issued per Dynamics 365 company (legal entity) for unlimited users. If more than one Dynamics 365 company needs to be used, then a separate license is required for each company.
Three (3) license keys are provisioned with each license:
- One (1) License key is issued for use in one (1) Dynamics 365 Production environment.
- One (1) License key is issued for use in one (1) Dynamics 365 GOLD environment.
- One (1) License key is issued for use in one (1) Dynamics 365 UAT/Sandbox environment.
You can add one or more of the following optional feature add-on licenses:
Driver App License
This license permits use of the RouteCTRL Driver App and enables routes generated in Dynamics 365 to be assigned to and completed by a vehicle driver using the driver app. An initial minimum of five (5) licenses must be purchased, this can be increased or decreased in increments of one but a minimum of five (5) must be maintained.
This license enables the sending of shipment notifications to your customers for every stage of shipment such as when a shipment is Scheduled, In-Transit, Delivered, Attempted, Rejected, and more. Licenses can be purchased for EMAIL, SMS, or WHATSAPP notifications.
This license also provides access to sending delivery/pickup confirmation documents to your customers. Access is also granted to an intuitive drag and drop template designer embedded in Dynamics 365 to used design custom shipment notification emails and delivery/pickup confirmations.
Shipment Notifications License
These customer portal licenses enable access to the B2B and/or B2C customer portals. Customer portal licenses include a monthly allowance of 5,000 shipments to be transacted/managed within the portals. Usage beyond the monthly allowance is billed at the applicable rate per shipment. Customer portal licenses come with unlimited EMAIL shipment notifications and ePOD document access for all shipments that are released to the customer portal.
B2B/B2C Customer Portal License
This license enables access to rating, shipping, tracking, and generating shipment labels via 100+ 3rd party shipping carriers right from Dynamics 365.

Purchased add-on licenses are compatible with all license keys. However, the UAT license key is restricted to five (5) license assignments per add-on. For example, if you acquire ten (10) RouteCTRL Driver App licenses, you can fully utilize them in Production, but only up to 5 in UAT. For performance or load testing, this restriction can be temporarily lifted upon request. Additionally, the GOLD environment license prohibits any transactions.
All licenses are billed monthly and paid annually unless otherwise specified, while any overages are billed and paid on a monthly basis.
Additional Information
Frequently asked questions
Yes, RouteCTRL provides a GOLD and UAT/Sandbox environment per core production license. The GOLD environment is typically used for new Dynamics 365 implementations, where RouteCTRL configuration data is stored alongside other data for deployment to Production. However, no RouteCTRL transactions can be processed in the GOLD environment.
The UAT/Sandbox environment is designed for testing purposes before deployment to the Production Dynamics 365 environment. While transactions can be conducted in these environments, there are limitations on the number of drivers, vehicles, and shipments that can be configured and calculated each month.
