Cannot publish "Only users with Power BI Pro licenses can publish to this workspace."

[VGWAdmin]

Hi,

We have onboarded on of our customers to Power BI with trial Pro licenses. 

When we however try to publish a model to a modern workspace, we get the error: "Only users with Power BI Pro licenses can publish to this workspace."

Publishing to a classic workspace works just fine.

What can be the issue?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi @VGWAdmin ,

According to your description, my understanding is that you are going to publish the report to an APP workspace, App workspaces are only available with a Power BI Pro license. Please refer to this document: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-collaborate-power-bi-workspace

Hi,

The users have a Pro license (albeit a trial).
That's the reason I'm posting this question.

Well i just receive a survey popup... i guess im filing that in haha cant believe this is 20 years old issue =))

Funny thing is that i was able to publish it like 2 or 3 times... then it went intermittent and now i cant upload from Desktop version.

Can still upload and replace on online app

The error I'm getting is in PBI Desktop when publishing a pbix from latest Desktop Version: 2.80.5803.1061 64-bit (April 2020)

Same .pbix uploads fine if we upload from the web app.

Error:
Couldn't publish to Power BI
Only users with Power BI Pro licenses can publish to this workspace.

And of course I am using a trial Pro license in this instance.

Please try to publish the file directly from Power BI Service.

Log on to Power BI Service >> select the workspace >> Get Data (bottom left corner) >> Files >> Get >> Local File >> Browse the PBIX File.
