Logging in PowerBI Desktop on Multiple Devices
HI!
You do not need any license for Power BI Desktop on any machine. You can simply login to your tenant with org email and that is it. The License is tied only to your ID and not to Power Bi Desktop/Power BI Report Builder at all.
It appears that your IT team isn't aware of the Power BI licensing. Please go ahead and install it yourself at any number of devices you wish!

Wish I could, but since i need it on the company notebook and i'm locked out of admin privileges i need them to get it done.
I've asked here because i don't know how does licensing works for companies but as far as i know the IT only manages who is or isn't getting a Pro upgrade and there's no such thing as device licensing, unless there's some mechanism to prevent people from sharing reports by using the same account - which doesn't seems to be the way the app goes since i have it on different devices right now.

Try adding it from Microsoft Store. That does not need admin rights mostly.
