License requirements
Hi,
I am currently a Pro user who is creating internal budget performance reporting across ~100 individuals.
Data is stored in a local Access database, and I am using the Personal Gateway to refresh reports which have been uploaded to the web from the Desktop application.
I have created a personal dashboard for each individual, showing a tile for each of the budget lines for which they are responsible.
It all seems to be working fine, with the only caveat being that I must refresh/update the reports for them each month as new data is added to the database.
Will these users be able to remain on the free license, or will they eventually need to move across to a Pro license to access the reports I have created and updating/sharing to their personal Desktops.
Any assistance is appreciated, many thanks.
Hi EastleyD,
As you're using the Personal Gateway to connect to your local Access database which is Power BI Pro content, Pro license is needed for all your recipients to access your reports in this scenario.:smileyhappy:

Thank you for the response.
Is this the case even if I refresh the reports on their behalf using my Pro license? (ie: they will only view already updated reports, and will not be required to connect to Access to refresh data themselves)
Many thanks,
Hi EastleyD,
Yes, the Pro license is still needed for them to view the reports.. :smileyhappy:
