Extended Pro Trial Notification - I already have Power BI Pro

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I have a Power BI Pro License from a couple of months but I just receive the notification of Extended Pro Trial activation.

Should I have to do something?

I understood that, since I already have the Pro license, I shouldn't receive this notification.

Is it going to change something for me?

Thank you.

Best,

Lorenzo.

Hi,

I have problem with my PowerBI.

It kept prompting me to upgrade and I cannot access any of the report.

Appreciate if someone help me out.

There is no notification for extension but I had been using PowerBI for the past 6 months.

I have the same issue across my sales force.  They've all been given a Power BI Pro license but continue to see messages about getting Pro.  It would be really nice if that confusion could be avoided. 

thank you,

Lisa

I understand that I'm not supposed to receive the notification because of this:

"

• Exclusions: Power BI Pro and Power BI Pro trial users are not eligible for the Offer.

"

But, to answer to my question:

I have a Power BI Pro License from a couple of months but I just receive the notification of Extended Pro Trial activation.

Should I have to do something? I don't need to do anything.

I understood that, since I already have the Pro license, I shouldn't receive this notification.

Is it going to change something for me? Nothing is going to change for me having my Power BI Pro license already.

Am I right?

Thank you all for your answers.

Hi @Anonymous,

Have you read below article yet? If you haven't, I think you can take a look on it first:

@v-shex-msft I'm not sure that answers OPs question. I got a similar notification.  Basically we aren't eligable for Power BI Pro extended free trial as OP (and myself) are already Paying users of Power BI Pro.  What was strange is that we have received a notification of getting the extended trial.  When i clicked on the "Activate Trial", nothing really happened and it went away.  No "Trial days remaining" message appears anywhere either.

Does this mean that us paid users will get a 1 year credit?  Is that essentially what the notification was meaning or was the notification in error?

Hi @Anonymous,

Please check below conditions about extended power bi pro trial:
