    Hi filipovski 

    If you only have a Pro licence and share reports with others they need a Power BI licence to view the reports shared.

    Each user needs their own Power BI Pro licence.

    If you have a large number (>400) of users who need to view Reports it may be more cost effective to get a Premium Capacity licence that allows free licence holders to view Reports.

    Hope this helps
