    Hi mrvamsidhar,

    Beginning June 1, 2017 existing users of the Free service who have been active within the past year (on or before May 2, 2017) will be eligible for a free, 12-month extended trial of Power BI Pro. Please let Power-BI basic license people activate Extended Pro Trial by two ways:

    1. When you sign in to the Power BI service, and are eligible, you will get a pop-up notice. Selecting Activate Trial will begin the Extended Pro Tria.

    2. If you dismissed the pop-up by selecting Not Now, the Extended Pro Trial can be activated any time until the end of the trial period on May 31, 2018. This can be done in the Notification center.

    If someone you shared with have the pro trial, they have access to view the dashboard. 

    More details, please review the article: Extended Pro Trial activation.

    Best Regards,
    Angelia

    Hmm, I believe that the only way to share content with a Basic user would be to use Publish to Web under the new licensing scheme.
