Test to configure PowerBI Embedded

Hello Everyone,

 

We have been trying to configure the PowerBI embedded in order to test it and have followed the procedure from the given below site: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/move-to-production

 

But we are not sure which capacity we should buy as we are confused. 

 

Right now for development purposes how we can get a trial capacity? 

We just want to test the report and take further decisions on it.

 

 

Thanks in Advance!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

For development testing, you can use embed trial tokens with a Pro license. To embed in a production environment, use a capacity.

If you run out of embed tokens while testing, you need to purchase a Power BI Embedded or Premium capacity. There's no limit to the number of embed tokens you can generate with a capacity.

For the differences and scenarios between premium and embedded, you can refer to these two blogs:
