In Azure PPU license is transferable between users
Hello paritosh_mishra ,
yes, when you purchase a license you assign it to users in the Microsoft 365 admin center, you can uncheck it for a users and reassign it to another.
How to do it (Microsoft 365 admin center):
-
Go to Users > Active users.
-
Select the old user, click Licenses and apps, and uncheck the PPU license.
-
Select the new user, go to Licenses and apps, and check the PPU license.
-
Further just to onto one of your questions is that you can move licenses between users and not incur any additional costs.
Hi paritosh_mishra , Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.
As Idrissshatila and GilbertQ said, you can remove a Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) license from one user and assign it to another in the Microsoft 365 admin center. PPU is a named-user license, so you’re reallocating a seat you already own, not increasing capacity. There’s no additional cost and your subscription billing stays the same even if you purchased through Azure.
When you unassign a PPU license, the change takes effect quickly, the old user immediately loses access to PPU-only features and content. After assigning the license to the new user, make sure they also have the correct workspace or app permissions to access what they need.
