Power BI-service - home use of professional account?

[Joyce_Schipper]

Hi. I use Power BI incl. service at work. Our Microsoft license allows for home use which works fine for Word and Excel etc.

Now my husband has privately initiated the Microsoft learning paths and modules on Power BI. So far he only needed Power BI desktop which is free for everyone, but he's now at a point where he needs to work with Power BI service. Rather than having to purchase a license for Power BI service or use a temporary trial license, I'm wondering if he can gain access to it based on my professional account?

Obviously this would need to be through his own Microsoft login as otherwise his study material would interfere with my work environment in Power BI service.

Anyone any idea if this is supported somehow and if yes, how?

Thanks!

Hi, @Joyce_Schipper 

This is not supported. It requires his own account to have a license for pro. 

Prerequisites for using Power BI services

Viewing Power BI content (reports, dashboards, apps) created by designers requires one of two conditions:

• a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license
• Your organization to have a Power BI Premium subscription, and the content to be shared with you from Premium capacity.

Here is the relevant document, hope it can help you:
