How do licensing constraints affect Power BI Development projects?

[royben239 0]

Licensing is a significant limitation, as Power BI Pro restricts dataset sizes to 1GB and limits the number of daily refreshes. Advanced capabilities, such as AI features or broader sharing options, are locked behind Premium licenses, which can be prohibitively expensive for small businesses. Power BI development often have to design solutions within these constraints, sometimes sacrificing scalability or performance. Additionally, licensing models complicate collaboration, as non-Pro users cannot access shared dashboards. These restrictions force development teams to either explore workarounds or negotiate higher costs with clients, reducing flexibility and accessibility.
