In the EULA for Power BI Desktop it states "You may install and use one copy of the software on your premises". Does premises in this statement mean computer? My IT folks are hesitant to let me download due to this statement. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Got clarification from the MS team, looks like the limitation is only for the sake of modification of the software for profit, not for use by a commercial company. Consider this question resolved!

Thanks for your response Lydia. I appreciate you taking the time to assist.
The application is free, install it everywhere
Hi Austin,
Thanks for the response. That was my goal, however Microsoft's EULA stating that only 1 copy can be used on your premises as well as receiving a note from a contact at MS yesterday that the Free version of Power BI desktop can only be used for personal and non-commercial purposes has me holding off. I was hoping my compliance team was being overly cautious, but it appears the limitations of the free version are pretty restrictive.
