Hi Anonymous,
Yes you need to register Pro version and its free but NOTE that it is only for organizational account (yahoo,Gmail user Sorry). With whom you are sharing the same also have to register for Pro. Thanks
If you find solution Please "Accept solution" else let me know.
- 8 years agoHi there, note that the above information isn't correct. You will need to assign a Power BI Pro license even if you share to a gmail or external account if they do not have their own Power BI Pro account.

Yes in order to share reports or dashboards, both yourself and the person you are sharing to would require a Power BI Pro License.

I am look to share documents with a number of users. Do they all need a Power BI Pro License? They will not be editing or changing the dashboards, but just filtering, so the dashboard can be static.
Any help would be appreciated.
- GilbertQ8 years agoSuper UserHi there, yes each user would need a Power BI Pro License.
The only other option is to embed Power BI into an external application where you use the EM SKUs
