Power Bi demo to client

I have proposed Power BI to one of my client. He is specifically looking for web version.

To create a POC, I have created a dashboard on sample data provided by my client and I have saved on my desktop in .pbix format (around 2.5 MB).

 

Now, when I am trying to publish that dashboard on PowerBi server; it is restricting me to sign in. I do have Microsoft account but I believe I need to get licence for that. 

 

Can someone please guide me how can I publish my dashboard on power bi server? I thought I can use it for showing demo to my client as I can upload and use data upto 1 GB ( as specified onpricing page)

    anujtripathi Are you registered to Power BI Online Service using your business email address?

    Also what is your data source? excel/sql database/CRM ?

      I've tried to do the same with my business E-Mail Id but it redirected to me to my companny authorized mail. I'm not sure will it be legal or am I authorize to register by myself. 

      When I tried to login with my client generated E-Mail id: (ex.: [email protected]) I am getting redirected to another page which says

      The actual or attempted unauthorized access, use, or modification of this system is strictly 
      prohibited by XYZ. Unauthorized users are subject to Company disciplinary proceedings and/or

      such activity to law enforcement officials. All users must comply with XYZ Corporate 
      instructions regarding the protection of XYZ information assets.

       

      Now, when I login with my company email account (Ex: [email protected]). I am getting below message

       

      We don't recognize this user ID or password
Be sure to type the password for your work or school account.

       

      Now, still in this case will my company be charged or will get notification if I tried to get registered? This is quite depressing as I just want to do a simple demo to my client to make him understand how he can take advantage of Power BI. I'm sure I can encourage him to invest in it.

       

      Nevertheless, alternatively is there any way that I can use ASP.NET or SharePoint as a host insted of Power BI online services?

       

      Currently, I have used "Power BI desktop" so I connected to my local SQL Server database but I am open to deploy the same on Azure for showing this demo. As it is fairely small, my .pbix file size is < 3 MB.

       

      Any advice or assistance would be appreciated.

        anujtripathi You can inform your company about your registration process if you are demonstrating your client. 

        Alternatively you can sign up for Power BI Trial account here and then upload your pbix reports.

        OR

        Create reports in Excel 2013 and upload it to Power BI for Office 365 (SharePoint Online) trial environment to demonstrate to your client.

        Hope this helps!

        In either of the case you need to have your business email address available for registration process.
