PBI License Options
Hi Ahsan_Abidi ,
It all depends on number of end user vs power bi developer. If you have lot of end users who needs to just view the report, then we need to opt for P1/F64 capacity which allows end user to view the report without power bi pro license.
But if the end user is not that high and a limited set of self service business user and power bi developer then getting lower FSKUs and providing Power Pro licenses for these set of users will be cost effective.
As we know power bi pro license cost will be 14$ in next 2 months and 5000$ is P1/F64 capacity cost, it was considered 15$ * 334 users = approx 5000$ premium/F64 capacity.
So accordingly, we can estimate how many users will be there, if its at higher side then better to go for F64.
If this post helps, please accept this as a solution. Appreciate your kudos.
Thanks,
Pallavi
Thank you for your response.
I would appreciate further guidance as I provide more details:
We have approximately 300 users in total. Our goal is to secure Pro licenses for about 50 users at $20 each (the cost in Pakistan). For the remaining 250 users, we would like to provide "View-only" access, allowing them to view reports and dashboards. Is there an option to offer this access at no additional cost?
If this is possible, could you please explain how it would work?
If all 300 members are essential and need to be included in the license, opting for the Pro plan would be the best solution for you. It will cost $3000 monthly (300 x $10).
There's no option to have 250 users in view-only mode without a license, unless you're purchasing capacity. Under capacity, all the 300 members will be covered.
Hi Ahsan_Abidi ,
Currently, there isn't an option to have 250 users in view-only mode without a license unless you're purchasing capacity. If you choose to purchase capacity, all 300 members will be covered.Should you have any further questions, feel free to reach out.
