    Hi guyinkalamazoo,

     

    It depends on your requirement. If you are more like to use power bi, I would recommend you to purchasae pro license separately and O365 E3 license. E5 license makes some improvement on O365 suite. About the difference between power bi pro license and O365 E5 license, please refer to this guidance: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-purchasing-power-bi-pro . In addtion, licenses is assigned to power bi account in O365 admin portal, not be assigned to people, device or IP address.
