Advocate IVDashboards in groups sharing with non-pro users
vsagan I understand this is an impact for you and your organization, but it has been very clear from the begining that any "Pro" feature used in the creation or distribution of Reports/Dashboards will require the end user to also have a Pro license. The argument that "it worked" isn't really grounds to say that it still should, the licensing hasn't changed, the enforcement of the licensing did. The licensing page has always had the entirety of "collaboration" under the "Pro" license only. I can understand the frustration of not finding an explicit answer up front, but there have been many posts and discussions from day one on this Community outlining how "Pro" worked.
Advocate IVThanks for your reply Eno.
I will mention again that the documentation prior to 6 Jan 2017 did not mention this requirement. As of 6 Jan 2017, the documentation changed to specify this requirement.
vsagan I'm not arguing that, I would say that all the documentation in general does not cover every planned use case scenario. I am saying however, that it was general knowledge, or easily found on the pricing page, this Community site and other areas outlining that use of a "Pro" feature would require end users to have a "Pro" license.

Thanks Eno.
Based on the multitude of posts from other users, plus Microsoft's need to update the documentation, others feel differently.
