Will I be charged automatically after the trial period ends?

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am new to PowerBI.

I have started PowerBI Pro trial for a business investigation, but I want to stop using Pro Trial now that the investigation is complete.

Please let me confirm the following two points

①Can you tell me how to stop the Pro Trial before the trial period ends?

②Will I automatically get a PRO Licence and start billing after the trial period ends?

(This would require the company to pay the PRO Licence fee, which would be very disruptive.)

I would appreciate it if someone could help me out. Thank you for your help.

i'm sorry for my poor English.

Just in case, I will write the sentences in my native language below

こんにちは、PowerBI初心者です。

業務調査のためPowerBI Pro trialを始めましたが、調査が完了したのでPro Trialの使用を停止したいです。

以下の2点を確認させてください

①試用期間が残ってますが、Pro Trialを停止する方法を教えていただけますでしょうか。

②試用期間終了後は、自動的にPRO Licenceが取得され、課金が始まってしまうのでしょうか？

（こうなると会社にPRO Licence 代を支払ってもらうことになり、とても困ります）

どなたかご教授いただけますと幸いです。よろしくお願いいたします。

Hi @Anonymous 

As far as I know and if this has not changed, credit card info is not required when registering for a Pro Trial and you can extend the trial one more once it has expired. I initially started with a trial at my current company and the admin had to purchase a license near the expiration.  The conversion to paid Pro was not automatic.

Thanks for the answer.
Does that mean that some sort of email will be sent to the admin?

@Anonymous If you entered credit card information there is a good bet...

I use PowerBI for my organization account.
We use Office 365 and PowerBI is free to use.
Regarding payment, I am not registered for my personal credit card, but since we have an Office 365 subscription, I am not sure if it will be paid with my company's credit card...

But as long as I'm guaranteed that I won't automatically move to a PRO that requires payment after the PRO trial period, I'm not going to have a problem with it!

Thank you for answering my question.
I have referred to the document.
I see that after the PowerBI PRO trial period ends, it does not automatically migrate to PRO.
We have no problem with the content that was used in PRO becoming unavailable because we were using it in our research.
Thank you!
