Power BI stand alone licence

Hi,

 

We are a consultancy building Power BI dashboards for our clients.

 

Normally if our clients do not have Power BI Pro licence and do not have Microsoft 365 licence at all we create a tenant for them within our organisation and allocate a Power BI Pro licence to that tenant.

 

However, we have a not for profit client and as such they would benefit from the Microsoft non-profit discount. Is it possible for them to purchase Power BI Pro licence as a stand alone without having Microsoft 365 licence?

 

Thanks in advance!
Georgi

Hi there

 

As far as I know they would need to create the Power BI license through their channel to get the Non-Profit discount.


Once that is done, it actually creates an Office 365 tenant and an AAD, which you could then get acccess to?

Hi @gmarinov ,

 

As the official document said, you need Office365 trial.

Thanks GilbertQ!

In this case do they just pay for Power BI Pro or also for the Office 365 tenant and AAD?

I see that Power BI Pro is $3 per user and Microsoft 365 Premium is free for up to 10 users and above that is $5 per user. I guess they would then have to pay $3 per user for the first 10 users and then $8 per user for every additional user or is there any other cost I am missing?

Hi @gmarinov ,

 

Ah, ok, so, you do NOT have to purchase the O365 to use Power BI Pro.  They can be purchased separately and are not dependent on each other.

 

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!

Hi @gmarinov ,

 

 As @GilbertQ  stated, they have to make the purchase to get the non-profit rate.  I am not sure where you are getting the "free" Premium license from, do you have a link for that?
