R Visual Licensing
Hi saurabh_kedia_,
R visuals require a Power BI Pro license to render in reports, refresh, filter and cross-filter, but users with free licenses can view R tiles in dashboard please refer to the following table describes R visuals capabilities based on licensing.

I have an R visual in a report created in desktop Power BI (free) and published using Power BI free licence. I would like to pin the R visual to a tile on a dashboard to see how it works (according to this post it shoud?) but the visual doesn't display in the report (as described in this post) BUT the pin button doesn't respond .. so I'm wondering how I would do this? i.e. in what sense does "View R tiles in dashboards" with a managed-tenant free licence if the tile can't be pinned? Does this mean the user pinning it must have a PRO licence to be able to pin it?
thanks
Hi @Rbbi,
If you notice in the image above, one can view the R visual in Power BI desktop and can view it in dashabord if shared by someone else. But one cannot pin a R-visual tile to the dashboard himself with a free license.

Saurabh
