May 3 announcement FAQ
We very recently started using power BI to share in a small orgnaisation (10 users). Several of the users clicked the pro trial button despite us not having made any use of the pro functions. As far as I can tell several of our users will now be inelligable for a trial, when we have to actually use the Pro features to share dashboards. This seems inhenernetly unfair to be slapped with a significant bill when we haven't even got started on whether this is a good solution. I'm sure this goes for many people who took up the pro trial, but have never needed to use it. This is a fundamental change to the relationship between free/pro so you shouldn't be inelligable for having had a trial under the old regime.
Hi masplin,
As long as your users meet the terms and conditions here, they will be eligible for the extended Power BI Pro trial even if they've previously used the standard 60-day trial.

Hi Miguel, in that case would it be possible to update the Exclusions in the T&C to reflect this? It appears to be contradictory.

Most users in my organization are currently Power BI Pro trial users. Does this mean none of us would be eligible for this new 'Offer'? This is pretty confusing!

Are we supposed to purchase the license once the 60 day trial period ends? Please clarify!

Hi MiguelMartinez,
You stated:

However, in the terms and conditions, you stated the opposite:
Exclusions: Power BI Pro and Power BI Pro trial users are not eligible for the Offer.
Hence, can you confirm if Power BI Pro trial users eligible for the 1 year PRO trial if they registered on or before May 2, 2017 ? We need a clear definition so that we can manage change come June 1.
Thanks.
