Share App for external users
No, no, no. I have Pro licence (Provider side) and as my client has Pro too (consumer side). I share the app. I used trial licence only to test purpose at consumer side.
Now problem is fixed. First of all I didn't notice that my account has enabled Fabric. In this scenario (as I suspected) I have to assign fabric free licence to the clients who hasn't own Fabric licence. This problem causes another one. System asked my client to create new fabric account and he did this. It made new issue: two separated accounts with the same email address: one with Pro licence and another without.
But finally I decided to another scenario to fix the issue. I turned of Fabric at my account. After propagation time of changes, my client had to properly logout from this no licence account. Then we made new clear login and accepted invitation again.
Hi, RadekS
You can share your apps with your external users by referring to the minimum license requirements below and the tutorial according to the documentation. Because Power BI is constantly evolving, some of the previous rules may not apply in the current Power BI Service.
In the following figure, different licenses are supported for external users when your app workspace is different and the app provider has different licenses.
Distribute content to external guest users with Microsoft Entra B2B - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
You can adjust your license based on your actual situation.

Unfortunatelly, I just heared the solution stopped to work and the case returned to the begining state.
So, we stuck at the same point. We share Pro->Pro and Power BI require from recipicient to create Fabric Free Account. No option to cancel. After Fabric account is created there is no access to account with Pro licence.
No idea how to fix this issue.
