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
Feri
Solved! Go to Solution.
@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?
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.
