Hi dsynan,

 

If you are sharing dashboards/reports with free users, beginning June 1st they will need to take advantage of the extended Pro trial to continue accessing the content. After the extended trial expires, users will need a Pro license to maintain access.

 

Terms and conditions for the extended trial can be found here.

How does this tie in with the new "Premium" service? Will the premium service be a way for "free" users to view dashboards made by "Pro" users without needing a "Pro" license?

    That's exactly right Anonymous. As Anonymous mentioned on the announcement blog "...many organizations contain users who aren’t actively creating BI content, but require the ability to consume content distributed to them. Power BI Premium enables Power BI Pro users to publish reports broadly across the enterprise and beyond, without requiring recipients to be licensed per user".
