I don't know if this will work for sure, but potentially you can have your IT admin close your Power BI account and then re-add you.  According to the article I have linked below it says you will be provided a link to re-open your account. This might terminate your trial.  If you do embark on this process, you will also loose any dashboards you have previously created.

Let us know how it turns out.

Remember that the licensing for Power BI is changing (I believe it will be effective June 1, 2017). Even if you downgrade, I don't believe you will be able to share dashboards with other users after that date. To share a report all parties need to be on at least Pro license.

 Our company has bought the Premium license, however, the previous setup as Pro Users now, suddenly has no access to the report when Pro users licenses are removed. Please provide any solution for this or if there is any documentation for the license changes.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

You want to share dashboard and report using Power BI Pro trial account, right?

 

What licence did the standard user used? Please be aware that Power BI Pro can only share a dashboard with Power BI Pro or Power BI Pro trial user. It is not able to share with Power BI free trial user.
