Power BI Licensing
Power BI can be added to any Microsoft license, such as Dynamics 365, that uses Azure Active Directory for identity services. Some licenses, such as Microsoft / Office 365 E5, include a Power BI Pro license.
Subscription Licenses
All user-based, commercial licenses from Microsoft are based on Azure Active Directory identities. To use the Power BI service, you must sign in with an identity that Azure Active Directory supports for commercial licenses. You can add Power BI to any Microsoft license that uses Azure Active Directory for identity services.
There are two kinds of Power BI subscription licenses for organizations: Standard and Premium.
With a Standard, self-service Power BI subscription, admins assign per user licenses, with a per user monthly fee – there is no capacity subscription fee. Licenses can be assigned to any Microsoft license that uses Azure Active Directory for identity services.
A Power BI Premium subscription license provides advanced administration and deployment controls and is suitable for enterprise BI, big data analytics, and cloud and on-premises reporting. A Premium subscription license incurs a monthly cost for this allocation of capacity.
NOTE: The two types of subscriptions are not mutually exclusive; depending on your needs, a Premium subscription license for all content across the entire organisation may not be required.
Per-User Licenses
There are three kinds of Power BI per-user licenses: Free, Pro, and Premium Per User. Which type of license a user needs will be determined by your organisation’s subscription license type, how they’ll interact with Power BI content, and if that content uses Premium features.
Capability within each license type is determined by your organisation’s subscription type.
