Hello,

In the context of Business Central(dynamics365), I understand that includes PowerBI Free licenses.

When creating a tile with a report in Dynamics365 Business Central, there are 3000 store users who should be able to consume that content(report), do they need Premium/Pro licenses to view or can they use PowerBI Free licenses? I am looking at the documentation and it`s not clear whether or not a Pro or Premium license is needed.

Also, what`s the advantage of getting PowerBI free licenses with Business Central, if a Pro license is necessary to get PowerBI & Business Central to work or to be able to create content?

Thanks

you need the licence for the users that create contents, but for the people that are consuming it I have understood isnt necesary a additional licence other them the busness central one (for viewing).

if that the case I would recomend opening a Power BI support ticket, as it should work fine without upgrading for viewin report: reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/admin-powerbi-setup#:~:text=With%20Business%20Central%2C%20users%20get,provides%20access%20to%20additional%20features.
