Over the years there have been several versions of this software. It started as On-Premise software, an online version was introduced and the On-Premise version and online version continued to evolve separately. Today the On-Premise version is called Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CE) and the online version has evolved into a number of Model-Driven apps built on the Power Platform run as a cloud service. An On-Premises version still exists and is referred to as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement.
