Microsoft Power BI Premium Per User 24 months – Unlock Enterprise-Grade Analytics for Your Team

Transform the way your organisation discovers insights with a 24-month subscription to Microsoft Power BI Premium Per User. This is not simply an upgrade from Power BI Pro; it is a dedicated analytics engine assigned to each licensed user, removing the shared-capacity constraints that throttle performance in standard plans. For data analysts, BI professionals, and decision-makers in mid-to-large enterprises, this license delivers dedicated cloud compute resources, advanced AI modelling, and the flexibility to publish reports on-premises. The result is faster processing, larger data models (up to 100 GB), and the ability to manage your analytics estate with enterprise-grade tools, all while maintaining full EU data compliance. Lizensa provides this genuine, verified 24-month term license with instant digital delivery, a full VAT invoice, and free multilingual support, ensuring your team is equipped to make data-driven decisions from day one.

Key features and benefits

• Dedicated Premium Capacity: Each licensed user receives dedicated cloud compute resources, eliminating the performance variability of shared capacity. This ensures consistently fast report rendering and query response times, even during peak usage across your organisation.
• Large-Scale Data Models: Work with datasets up to 100 GB in size, a significant leap beyond the 1 GB limit in Power BI Pro. Analyse granular, multi-year transactional data without the need to pre-aggregate or sample, preserving the full fidelity of your business intelligence.
• Advanced AI and AutoML Integration: Leverage built-in AI visuals, such as key influencers and decomposition trees, alongside automated machine learning (AutoML). Data analysts can build and apply predictive models directly within Power BI, forecasting trends and identifying patterns without writing code or switching to a separate data science platform.
• On-Premises Reporting via Power BI Report Server: Publish interactive Power BI reports to your own secure, on-premises server. This is critical for organisations in regulated sectors like finance, healthcare, and manufacturing that must keep certain data within their physical infrastructure to meet strict data residency and compliance mandates.
• XMLA Endpoint Read/Write Connectivity: Unlock advanced data management and governance. Connect to your Premium workspaces using XMLA protocol-compliant tools, such as SQL Server Management Studio or Tabular Editor, to perform sophisticated modelling, partitioning, and deployment operations that are impossible in standard Power BI.
• AI-Powered Natural Language Querying: Enable users across your business to ask questions of their data in plain English, German, French, Dutch, or Polish. The Q&A feature interprets the intent and generates the appropriate visual, democratising data access for non-technical stakeholders.
• Deployment Pipelines for Application Lifecycle Management: Streamline the development, test, and production lifecycle of your BI content. Deployment pipelines provide a visual, integrated tool to promote dashboards and reports through stages, ensuring quality control and reducing the risk of errors in business-critical reporting.
• 24-Month Term with Predictable Budgeting: This license provides uninterrupted access to all Premium Per User capabilities for a full 24 months from activation. It allows procurement and IT managers to lock in a fixed operational cost for two years, simplifying software asset management and budget forecasting.

What's included with your purchase

Your purchase from Lizensa is a complete digital fulfilment package. You receive a genuine Microsoft Power BI Premium Per User 24-month activation key, delivered instantly to your email and Lizensa customer account. This is a per-user subscription license, valid for a fixed term of 24 months from the date of activation, and is intended for commercial use within the European Union. Along with the license key, you receive a step-by-step activation guide that walks you through linking the key to your Microsoft 365 admin centre and assigning it to users. A compliant EU VAT invoice is provided with every order, suitable for business accounting and tax reclamation. The license supports installation and use on Windows and macOS clients, and full functionality via modern web browsers, with the product interface available in English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish.

Choosing the right edition

Selecting the correct Power BI license is essential for cost efficiency and performance. Here is how the Premium Per User (PPU) edition compares to the standard offerings:

• Power BI Free vs. Pro vs. Premium Per User: The Free edition is limited to personal, "My Workspace" use and lacks sharing capabilities. Power BI Pro enables collaboration and sharing across an organisation but operates on shared cloud capacity, which can lead to performance bottlenecks and imposes a 1 GB dataset size limit. Premium Per User removes these constraints by granting each licensed user dedicated capacity, enabling 100 GB datasets, higher refresh rates, and access to all advanced AI and enterprise features.
• Premium Per User (PPU) vs. Premium Capacity (P-SKU): Premium Capacity is an organisation-wide, node-based licensing model designed for large-scale enterprise deployments where content is consumed by thousands of users who do not need a Pro or PPU license. PPU is a more targeted, per-user license that provides the full capabilities of Premium to specific individuals who create and manage advanced content, without requiring the significant upfront investment of a dedicated capacity node. For teams of analysts and BI developers, PPU is the precise, scalable choice.
• Term Commitment: This 24-month subscription provides a longer commitment than monthly or annual plans, offering price stability and reducing administrative overhead associated with frequent renewals. It is the optimal choice for ongoing, strategic analytics projects.

FAQ — frequently asked questions

Is this a subscription or a one-time purchase?

This is a 24-month subscription license. It provides full access to all Microsoft Power BI Premium Per User features for a fixed term of two years from the date of activation and is not a perpetual, one-time purchase.

How fast will I receive my license key after payment?

Delivery is virtually instant. Our automated system processes your order immediately after payment confirmation, and your license key and activation guide are sent to your email and made available in your Lizensa customer account, typically in under 60 seconds.

Is this a genuine, legally compliant Microsoft license?

What if I have trouble with the activation process?

Our free, multilingual technical support team is available to help. If the step-by-step guide does not resolve your issue, you can contact our support desk directly, and we will assist you in getting your Power BI Premium Per User license activated.

Can I reinstall or transfer this license to another user?

You can reinstall the Power BI Desktop client on a new computer at any time by signing in with the licensed user's account. As a per-user subscription, the license can be reassigned from one user to another by an administrator through the Microsoft 365 admin centre, though only one user can be assigned the license at a time.

Does this license work for my company in the European Union?

Yes, this license is specifically intended for activation and use within the European Union. It adheres to EU regulations, and Lizensa provides a VAT invoice that is valid for accounting purposes in all EU member states.

What payment methods does Lizensa accept?

What is your refund policy?

Under EU consumer protection law, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of purchase. If the license key has not been activated or its authenticity is in question, we will process a full refund according to our terms and conditions.

What is the main advantage of Premium Per User over Power BI Pro?

The primary advantage is dedicated capacity. Power BI Pro operates on shared resources, which can slow down during peak times and limits datasets to 1 GB. Premium Per User provides dedicated compute power for each licensed user, supports datasets up to 100 GB, and unlocks advanced AI, AutoML, and on-premises reporting features.

Do I need a Power BI Pro license in addition to Premium Per User?

No. The Power BI Premium Per User license includes all the capabilities of a Power BI Pro license. You do not need to purchase both; PPU is a superset of Pro functionality designed for advanced analytics creators and consumers.

Can I use Power BI Premium Per User on a Mac?

Yes, while the full Power BI Desktop application is designed for Windows, you can access all the Premium service features, including report creation and consumption, through a modern web browser on macOS. The cloud-based functionality is fully cross-platform.
