Regarding Licensing Clarification on Power BI
Hi Mitsu, perhaps my understanding is wrong, but publishing to the app.powerbi.com site does not make your report/dashboard public. Access to the dashboard and underlying report is controlled by the publisher and can only be granted, currently, within your Office 365 corporate domain. No-one outside this can access your report and for users within permission must be expicitly granted and can be revoked at any time.

By Publish To web . I meant the 'Publish to web feature in Power BI service' . Looks like you are referring to the publish to the Power BI service . If so you should know that for the users to consume the reports created using pro feature , they would need a pro license .

If you are interested, I have videos of how you can use your free Power BI license. I made these as a response to a student question in my Power BI class. Demos are sometimes a much more effective way to show the various aspects.
My LMS requires that you have to have a login to access the content. If you sign up for the free course trial here, using the button at the top: http://academy.tumbleroad.com/courses/project-online-power-bi-dashboards, the last chapter contains all of the content around using the free Power BI license.
Hope this helps!
