I'm a little unclear how Premium and Pro will be expected to mix going forward.
Our business is sizable, and its possible we would grow to 500 Pro liceneses eventually (in the previous model). Presently we have only a fairly small number of users who actively create shared content. Some of the managers in the business are going to be encouraged to use it personally, but nothing they would share.
My expectation is that our business might have 20 or fewer report collaborators and maybe 1000 users who consume the reports. If we were to use Power BI prevmium, are we expected to buy 20 Pro Licenses then on top of this pay the 5,000 for Premium so that the 1000 users could view those reports, or do we just pay the 5000 for Premium and we have the ability to allocate special rights to those 20 people included in the 5k cost?
I've looked at the calculator and it gave me the impression that the 5K covers "viewers" and the pro licenses were needed on top for creators.
Power BI Pro licenses would be required for users publishing reports, sharing dashboards, collaborating with colleagues in workspaces and engaging in other related activities. Power BI Premium would enable those Pro users to distribute content without recipients being licensed individually.
