How do I secure a Power BI license?
Do I need a Power BI Pro license?
There are two primary ways to secure a Power BI license:
Procedure 1: Individual purchase or sign-up
You can sign up for a Power BI license individually. This can be done through a self-service procedure that requires you to follow some steps on the official Power BI service website: Sign up for or purchase the Power BI service as an individual
Procedure 2: Admin-assigned
If you belong to an institution that has a license, an administrator can assign a Power BI license to you. In this case, your organization's administrators can get a Power BI license subscription and then assign these licenses to users.
The pricing depends on the type of Power BI license you are purchasing.
It is important to note that you will need either a Power BI Pro or Premium license in order to view a shared dashboard from Percept Research.
To purchase Power BI Pro licenses specifically, signing in to the Microsoft 365 admin center is required. After signing in, select "Billing" from the navigation menu and then "Purchase services". You can then select Power BI from the "View by category" section.
We hope this information is helpful. However, please do note that the exact procedures might differ slightly and should be verified from the official Microsoft Power BI pages and related resources.
Percept Research does not provide Power BI licenses to dashboard viewers.
Microsoft, as the developer and proprietor of Power BI, administers the licensing directly to individuals or institutions. Therefore, every dashboard viewer is required to purchase their own Power BI Pro or Premium license from Microsoft.
