Power-BI Pro Vs Power-BI Basic
Hello, I am currently having Power-BI pro license. I created a couple of dashboards and shared to someone who is having a Power-BI basic license.
My question is does user who is having Basic license can view the dashboard created by user who is having Pro license?
Hi mrvamsidhar,
Beginning June 1, 2017 existing users of the Free service who have been active within the past year (on or before May 2, 2017) will be eligible for a free, 12-month extended trial of Power BI Pro. Please let Power-BI basic license people activate Extended Pro Trial by two ways:
1. When you sign in to the Power BI service, and are eligible, you will get a pop-up notice. Selecting Activate Trial will begin the Extended Pro Tria.
2. If you dismissed the pop-up by selecting Not Now, the Extended Pro Trial can be activated any time until the end of the trial period on May 31, 2018. This can be done in the Notification center.
If someone you shared with have the pro trial, they have access to view the dashboard.
More details, please review the article: Extended Pro Trial activation.
Best Regards,
Angelia

Hmm, I believe that the only way to share content with a Basic user would be to use Publish to Web under the new licensing scheme.

AngeliaThanks all for you reply. I am still little unclear. I am having Power-BI pr license and created a Dashboard and Shared to my collegue who is having Power BI Basic. When my collegue tried to View report, he is getting attached error.
- Does my collegue should also have Pro license to view dashboard I shared?
