Getting a Power BI Pro License
Hello v-shex-msft,
After several attemps to get a Power BI Pro License I finally did it. This is what I did.
1- I contacted the Microsoft customer service and I exposed my issue and then I was directed to the sales department
2- There I explained to the sales team that I wanted to get a License and that I wasn't able to get one due to my lack of an organization/school email account.
3- They helped me by creating a username that was able to sign up to get the Power BI license (AT firm'sname.onmicrosoft.com)
4- with my new user name I was able to buy the license and now I'm getting all the benefits.
Thanks for your suggestion I hope my experience helps other people.
HI Rafa52,
AFAIk, power bi pro license is for 'work' users so it requires an organization/school account.
If you want to use this personally, I'd like to suggest you create a personal office 365 tenant to manually manage and use power bi subscription.
