    HI SR71 

    Yes, anything you put on a PPU workspace will need a PPU licence to view. So if you share with only a PPU licence you'll need a PPU licence for anyone you share with.

    However there are lots of reasons for slow refreshing. It may be a slow data server, or inefficiencies in your data. Power BI loves "narrow" tables, lots of rows with few columns in multiple tables, rather than lots of columns in one big table, for example. Use Power Query to remove any columns you don't need in the Report, equally filter out any rows you're not interested in.  You'll find there are lots of things that can affect refresh speed, you don't necessarily need PPU until you've exhausted all the tuneing alternatives.

    Hope this helps
