    Hello Martin,

     

    I don't think that you can solve the problem without additional costs.

    Power BI Premium is a license model in which viewer are free. But Power BI Premium is too big / too expensive for your case.

    I think there is no other way than purschasing Power BI Pro licenses for all users. But it is clear to you that they can be purchased separately? At least in the market I know (Germany), the price difference from E3 to E5 is bigger than a Power BI Pro license. So Power BI Pro alone is not a reason for upgrading to E5.
    So you also wouldn't have to roll back the E3 licenses.

    Regards
    Michael

Hello Martin, 

 

ok, and I didn't see the word "premium" in your question.

 

To clarify this, Power BI Premium per user does not allow "Consume content without a per-user license". So one Premium Per user license wouldn't solve the problem. 

Only Power BI Premium per capacity allows this. 
(Pricing & Product Comparison | Microsoft Power BI)

 

Sorry, regarding refund I can't say anything.

 

Regards

Michael
