Hi, user259752 

In Power BI, if you have a dashboard or report connected to a dataset in the Power BI service and you or your colleagues try to view it without a Pro license, you may encounter a PowerBINotLicensedException.

If your semantic model is on shared capacity, this error occurs when you are currently logged in to Power BI desktop with account pro or above license. This explains why the error disappears when you turn on the pro license trial.

Thanks for your reply

I use just one account without sharing and the dataset is published in My Workspace.  Is it concidered to be a shared capacity? How to eliminate Pro license requirement using reports connected to Datasets stored in Power BI Service?

    I have been experiencing the same issue for about a month now.
    I also hope for a resolution to this issue.
