I am trying to connect an olap cube MD by means of the live connection of Power BI desktop and it reports me the following error.
I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Versión 11.0.3000.0
and Power BI Desktop Version: 2.58.5103.501 64-bit (mayo de 2018)
The import mode works correctly.
Any idea?

@Jsevilla4,
Servers must be running SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU4 or later versions of Analysis Services when you use live mode in Power BI Desktop to connetc to SSAS MD.
In your scenario, you can apply latest version of service pack for SQL Server 2012

Lydia

Fixed with the update of the SQL Server 2016 version.
Thanks, my version of SSAS is 11.0.7001.0 (SQL Server 2012 SP4) and the problem continues.
When I use a cube in SQL 2008 the error is different.
I suppose the error is not version database engine,
thanks again.
