    HI ani_informa ,

    #1, Office 365 E5 subscription include some free power bi pro license(25 users), you can assign these licenses at office portal.(expired date is same as office 365 E5 subscription)

    #2, AFAIK, p2p share feature has released as pro feature. you can consider to use 'publish to web' feature to share.(it not require pro license)

    Power BI service features by license type

    Regards,

You don't need to buy a license to use powerbi desktop. You don't need a license to share (publicly) the reports. You also don't need a license to publish on the web (privately in your workspace) reports. You DO need two licenses (both you and the receiver) to share privately a report on the web (i.e. you create the report and share to Mike: both you and Mike needs a pro license)
