Impactful Individualnew power bi licensing
Hi dilumd
Here are my answers to your questions
- Going forward you will have to have Power BI Pro to share dashboards. If you use the Free Version you are still able to publish to the Power BI Service, but you will not be able to share it with anyone.
- Going forward if you want to share the recipients of your dashboards will have to have the Pro or Premium licensing enabled.
- Under free they are going to give it the same capabilites as the Pro version, with one BIG change that there will be no sharing.
- For any access to viewing other peoples dashboards you will require the Pro or Premium licenses.
You can find more details here for the licensing
So this means that if you have 5 people developing PBI Reports and Dashboards and 95+ who just Consume reports that refresh Daily and/or don't use any of the sexy things that apparently PBI Pro offers ( https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-power-bi-pro-content-what-is-it/ ), you would now be paying $50 US per month but after June 1 you would have to pay $1000+ per month :-) ... even if you never use today's Power BI Pro features.
Simple math and kinda sucks frankly ... Good luck selling that to management ;-)

Advocate IIHi GilbertQ,
Please confirm dashboards can be shared amongst users with Pro licences but not the Premium service? In my opinion, it is not clear from the link you provided.
My organisation has <100 users so the US$ 4,995/month fee for Premium is way too expensive.

This sure feels like a bait and switch scam. . .

I really wish Microsoft didn't require end users to have a license to use the fruits of a developer's labor. If there's any single thing that's going to cause us to move from Power BI to Tableau-- which is currently under consideration-- it's that. Now that Tableau has modified their pricing to a reasonable monthly cost, I think the Powers That Be will likely conclude that it makes a lot more sense (and is probably much less expensive) to buy a few $70 Pro developer licenses than try to worry about dozens of $10 licenses for all possible end users. And I pray that I won't be asked to pony up for a subscription to the C++ compiler the next time a new version of Outlook is released.
ame54This is the case for dashbaords , but i belive if you are sharing reports directly , not a dashboard, then the consumer does not need a Pro license no ?

you not need Premium,pro is not change。
Premium is on-premises and cloud service for big crop
