Power BI PRO not required
Hi GilbertQ
I was wondering if you can maybe help me on my question
I downloaded the app and signed up but I can see there is a message about the day left for my Pro license. I didn't request the Pro license (or maybe yes and now I don't know how to cancel it) I wan to get the free version.
When I share a dashboard, my colleague can see it because a pop-up is shown indicating "A pro version is required".
Do you know can I solve this? I want to continue with the free version to share the info without any trouble,
Thanks
In Power BI Services, whether you share content inside or outside your organization, you and your recipients need a Power BI Pro license. Share dashboard is the feature of Power BI pro license. So if you cancle it, you cannot share a dashboard to your colleague. Please refer to the link below to see the details.

I believe starting in June, sharing is only allowed with the Pro version of Power BI
Here is the official announcement from Microsoft, as well as the details around a Pro and Pro-Trial
