Any licensing experts out there?

We are moving away from our parent company who has a P2 license.   So this is the environment we are used to.   And we are not admins of our current license so have little visisbility into the setup....

Hi Anonymous 

 

Based on your question the biggest differences are below:

 

1. If the dataset sizes are smaller than 1GB in PBIX size then you can use Power BI Pro.

2. If you are sharing with 100 users then it would be cheaper for each user to get a Power BI Pro license.

Thanks but I am also reading that the performance differences between having to share capacity (pro) versus having our own computing capacity could be a big selling point for having premium.

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    Yeah the additional computing is if your dataset is larger than 1GB, if it is not then it is not really worthwhile in my opinion....
