Good morning all,
Powerbi tenant we have 2 workspaces, one for production, one for development. How is the licensing sorted for having 2 workspaces. Do you need to assign (and pay for) a capacity to each workspace, or is the license automatially spread out over the workspaces?
The reason I ask is that we need to upgrade our license from a trial license and it is unclear to me what will happen when we do?
Solved! Go to Solution.
The other way round. Move your workspaces to the permanent capacity.
Just a follow up question, are there other/better ways to handle development environments in fabric or is this the way to go..since potentialy it could become an expensive solution?
It is up to you if you want dedicated capacities for Dev or ITG. There is no technical advantage in doing that. All pipeline stages can be on the same capacity.
There is no "license" limit for the number of workspaces in a capacity (there's a technical limit but you won't hit that any time soon).
Note that the word "license" is not entirely accurate here. You are renting a Fabric capacity, and then on top of it you need to manage Pro licenses for developer activity.
teh one thing that puzzles me is that we appear to have 2 capacities, the one that runs out in 7 days is the dev one, production is not far behind. We are entirely unsure how to handle this? just assign the capacity we bought to both workspaces?
The other way round. Move your workspaces to the permanent capacity.
