Question on Power BI Embedded and Pricing
KevinSGoff - https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Power-BI-Licensing-in-Pictures-Updated/ba-p/1291304
My understanding is that Power BI Embedded is still $1/hour for an A1 instance.
Now, there is the Power BI EM SKU's. An EM1 is $650/month (flat monthly cost). So, my understanding is that would provide the correct licensing even for external users but please verify that with a Microsoft licensing expert!!

Thanks for replying, I will check that out. (And I'll check out your DAX book)
Follow-up...I just noticed this:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/licensing-and-roadmap-update-for-power-bi-report-server/
Specifically, this: "We’ve recently updated our licensing terms to allow SQL Server Enterprise customers with software assurance to deploy Power BI Report Server on Azure VM’s for production use by leveraging their Azure Hybrid Benefit. "
That's what I've been wondering....we've been a purely on-prem shop, but want to move PBI to the cloud. We already have SQL Enterprise + software assurance: does "that" give us license to push PBI content up to the cloud and embed in .NET apps for our customer base on the outside....without having to buy anything else?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi KevinSGoff ,
I guess you want to use Power BI Service, but the terms say Power BI Report Server.

For Power BI Service, please refer to the following links.
