Community ChampionSwitching from PPU to Premium Capacity P1
Hi,
Wondering if anyone has experience of moving from PPU licencing to Premium Capacity.
Currently our whole tennant is running PPU (everyone has a PPU licence). We are however reaching the tipping point where it makes sense to switch to P1 Capacity.
Is it just a simple case of:
1) Purchase P1 Capacity.
2) Setup capacity as default for tennant.
3) Cancel existing licences apart from those for developers.
Am I missing anything?
Thanks
Ben
Hi, bcdobbs
PPU and P1, they are separate Premium capacities entirely. If you have a PPU workspace then everyone needs PPU license to access versus a P1 capacity, any Power BI license can access to view reports, Free, Pro or PPU. If all of your users have a PPU license then you wouldn't technically need to P1 instance in theory.
If you want to convert to P1 capacity now, your steps above are correct.
