Power BI Pro Test back to BI Free user

[viferenc]

Dear All,

I would need your help.

I have switched to the BI Pro test user for 365 days.

Is there any possibility to switch back to BI free user? If, yes, what I have to do

Thank you for your support.

Best regards

@viferenc I'm not aware of a way to downgrade, can I ask why you would want to revert to a free account when you get the Pro features for a year?

[viferenc]

I have problem with my shared files. Now all users have to upgrade their account to PRO to be able to open my shared files.

This I would like to avoid because for them it has a monthly fee.

Or there any possibily that I can stay in Pro and with the free account they can open my shared files.

thank you for your help

@viferenc Shared files? If you mean shared dashboards, then that is a change to the licensing model as of June 1st. You can no longer share anything with the "Free" license. It wouldn't matter if you changed back...

Unless I'm mis-understanding something by what you mean.

sorry, yes, shared dashboard.

As I understand from your answer. To share a dashboard now it is only possible with the Power BI Pro account.

In the free version sharing is not possible any more.

Not a good news, because this was a big benefit from this BI tool.

Thank you for you help.

@viferenc Yes, that is what I'm saying. You can find the announcement post here, there are two threads.
