Power BI Dashboard on Display screen

Hi, 

 

I am looking to display a Power BI Dashboard built using a Power BI PRO license on a TV  so people in my organization can view the information when passing by. Am I required to buy a license for every user passing but or one Power BI PRO license is enough?

 

Thanks.

    Hi Prdhar,

     

    That's a fun question! In my opinion you should only have one license for the user that has created the report / dashboard. You don't know each passing person so you cannot buy a license for them all.

     

    Ofcourse when people are going to interact with the dashboard on their own computer they need a license. 

     

    In my opinion this is more like a "Publish to web" set-up, so no need for extra licenses.

    Hi prdhar,

     

    In your scenario, one Power BI PRO license is enough as mentioned by Anonymous above. 

     

    If you still have any question on this, feel free to post here. If not, could you accept the reply of Anonymous as answer to close this thread? :smileyhappy:
