    Hi MSMPekowski,

    After purchasing the 3 licenses, we want to be able to use PBI pro after the "60 day trial" ends.

    We need to let the PBI.Com website know that they are licensed.

    We do not use O365.

    How did you purchase the licenses? Did you purchase Power BI Pro as an individual? If you have finished the purchasing there successfully, then the account you used for purchasing should already be Power BI Pro account. When you are in the service, you can verify that you have a Pro account by going to the gear icon and selecting Manage personal storage.

     

    Regards

Hi MSMPekowski,

 

There is no option to input licenses for Power BI Desktop(as it is free). And you don't need to do that. Your client should be able to publish data to his/her Pro account of the Power BI Service. Does your client has any issue with publishing data to Power BI Service?

 

Regards

The error message one of my clients (who does not want to use the 60 day trial and would rather just use PBI pro) is getting...

"This content pack is a Power BI Pro feature

To connect to this content pack, try Power BI Pro for 60 days, or contact your Office 365 tenant administrator to purchase Power BI Pro."
