As far as I know there are two possible trial licenses in Power BI:
My question concerns the licences described in bullet point 2.
When trying to activate the test licenses, the dialogue states, that in whole 25 licences are going to be available:
Question:
Does a licence disappear after being used for one month? Or can it be assigned to another user who can use it for another month?
Background:
I consider using those licenses for training purposes. I don't want to spend my precious PRO-licenses for users that might not user Power BI afterwards (but of course never want to give back a license). Additionally, the Power BI managed Trial license option disappears when we set the licensing information link in the Admin portal.

Yes, the licence will be expired after trial. And you cannot assign it to other users. And every new user can apply the Trial license.

You can remove the license and reassign it to others here.

Hi @v-frfei-msft ,
Thanks for your quick response. OK, I understand that I cannot use licenses of type 2 for my purpose.
What do you mean by your second answer? What kind of license are you talking about here? Pro or type 1?
