Ending trial of Office 365 E3 will expire my extended PRO trial of PowerBI?

[DiegoClaroECU]

I have successfully introduced PowerBI to my company in the past months, and we are working with the Extended PRO trial.

However, as my company is also working with a trial version of the Office 365 E3 ending this June, I am concern that the end of trial period of the Office 365 E3 will also revoke my PowerBI Extended Pro Trial.

Please could you confirm/check if the ending of my Office 365 E3 trial, will make expire my Extended Pro Trial of PowerBI? Or the E3 licencisng won’t affect the PowerBI trial?

@DiegoClaroECU,

If the user was created in your Office 365 E3 admin portal, then if your Office 365 E3 trial is expire, then the user is not able to use Power BI anymore.

@v-caliao-msft  I would like some clarification around this if you have some references. Is this a difference in any user signing up for a free license vs. a license being provisioned from O365? I don't see how the E3 would have any baring on a Power BI license, other than some features possibly not working (app workspaces, etc) as it isn't a pre-requisite to have from my understanding...

@DiegoClaroECU Your E3 license doesn't connect at all to Power BI. If you have an extended trial for Power BI, a different license expiring should have zero impact as it is a seperate license.
