Do i need power BI pro in combination with embedded ?

[Anonymous]

I have several reports which are shared internally with users.

I have about 100 pro licences

Now i figured if i put all reports on a embedded server i wouldnt need the pro license for the users which will save the company money. But when my testuser accesses the embedded report power bi still needs a license.

If i give him a free license the report works but the license only works for 60 days.

Is there a way to avoid the costs of the licenses ?

Hi  @Anonymous ,

Which embedded method are you using.

There are two kinds of Power BI embedded, one is Embed for your customers, the other is Embed for your organization, I recommend you to use Embed for your customers.

App users don't need a license.

This is a comparison of the two methods:
