Hi guys & gals
I'm new to PowerBI so please excuse my ignorance.
To get started & learn PowerBI can I download, create and publish reports on my name, not my companies name? This will be for me to learn and find out limitations and then to see if I implement it in my company, before going to the managers saying please buy Office 365 or add me to it if you already have it 🙂
If I need to register it to a company email - this means that the company needs Office 365 and I need to be allowed to use PowerBi in there subscriptions, is this correct?
I've read about Tenants - will the Tenants for the company be created and set-up when you first configure Office 365, then you add Power BI as a subscription and a PowerbI Tenant is created alongside the Office 365 Tenant?
I apologise for the multiple questions, I just need to get my facts right before proposing this to the business. I also need to know what is required at a management level as well.
I've watched videos and read blogs on how to create dashboards and am excited to get started, I just need to know what is needed to get it installed and able to publish for demos etc.
Thanks for your help

Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks for your response Guavaq,
So yes, you have confirmed that you do need a company email address but you dont need Office 365.
Its a shame that we cannot play with it using our personal Microsoft account!
Thanks again for your input
