Power BI license cost
Hello,
I am planning to covert all my SSRS reports to PowerBi, when I looked for the cost I saw the PowerBI (pro) version cost me $10 per license. Does this license apply only for my development / deployment purpose or should I buy additional license for my Business users (for each business users) who will be accessing/generating the reports. Can someone please clarify it.
Thanks
jrajaram - You can use Pro for developing and publishing reports. If you do not have about 500 report consumers (roughly) then you probably do not want Premium. Premium starts at about $5,000 per month versus Pro at $10/month

jrajaram - If you plan on sharing reports via the Power BI Service, then you need the Pro license for all users (both developers and readers). The exception to this is if you use Power BI Premium, then you only need a Pro license for the developers.
Thanks for your respose!
Can I use a pro license to develop and deploy reports on Power BI or should I need a premimum one.

Hi,
If you mean the licensing on the Report server you need the Enterprise edition of the SQL Server and also Software Assurance. And for every developer who can publish one Pro licence. But you can also use Premium here If you have multiple server on a cluster.
Best,
