Data is only as valuable as the insights you can extract from it. Microsoft Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) gives individual analysts, developers, and business decision-makers dedicated cloud compute capacity for advanced analytics, without the cost of a full organisational Premium capacity subscription. This 12-month annual license unlocks AI-powered data preparation, automated machine learning, deployment pipelines, and large-scale data modelling—all delivered digitally with clear activation guidance and ongoing EU-based support from Lizensa.
Unlike the standard Power BI Pro plan, PPU allocates dedicated resources per user, meaning faster query performance, larger dataset limits (up to 100 GB), and up to 48 scheduled data refreshes per day. You can publish reports to shared workspaces, connect external tools via XMLA endpoints, and manage content lifecycles across development, test, and production environments. Whether you are a freelance BI consultant, an in-house data analyst, or an IT manager equipping a small team of power users, this license provides enterprise-grade analytics on a predictable per-user basis. It is a genuine, verified Microsoft subscription, activated through your Microsoft 365 admin centre, and backed by a full EU warranty and VAT invoice from Lizensa.
When you purchase Microsoft Power BI Premium Per User 12 months from Lizensa, you receive a genuine, verified annual subscription license for one named user. This is not a lifetime or permanent license; it is a 12-month term subscription that must be renewed to maintain access to Premium features. Upon expiry, the license reverts to a Power BI Free or Pro entitlement depending on your existing Microsoft 365 plan, and Premium-specific content becomes read-only until a new PPU license is assigned.
Your purchase includes:
Activation requires an internet connection and a Microsoft 365 tenant (work or school account). The license is assigned to a user account in the Microsoft 365 admin centre; no traditional product key entry is required. Once assigned, the user can immediately access Premium features in the Power BI service and Power BI Desktop.
Microsoft offers several Power BI licensing tiers, and selecting the correct one depends on your analytics needs, data volumes, and how you intend to share content.
Power BI Free is a limited, individual-use tier suitable for learning the basics. It does not allow sharing reports or collaborating in workspaces.
Power BI Pro is the standard paid tier for report authors and consumers. It enables sharing, collaboration, and a moderate number of scheduled refreshes (8 per day) with a 1 GB dataset limit. Pro is sufficient for many departmental analytics scenarios.
Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) extends Pro with dedicated compute, larger datasets (up to 100 GB), 48 daily refreshes, AI features, deployment pipelines, and XMLA read/write endpoints. It is designed for power users who need advanced capabilities but do not require—or cannot justify—a full Premium capacity subscription covering an entire organisation. PPU is licensed per named user on a 12-month term.
Power BI Premium Capacity is an organisation-wide SKU that licenses dedicated cloud capacity for broad content distribution, including to users without Pro licenses. It is typically suited to large enterprises with hundreds or thousands of report consumers.
For most data analysts, BI developers, and business users who need enterprise features on an individual basis, PPU is the most cost-effective path. It provides the same Premium engine as the capacity SKU, but on a per-user subscription model that scales with your team.
Power BI Premium Per User is a cloud-first service with companion desktop and mobile applications. The core requirements are modest, but large datasets and complex models benefit from additional resources.

Power BI Premium Per User is an annual subscription license. The 12-month term begins on the date of activation and must be renewed to maintain access to Premium features. It is not a lifetime or permanent license.
When the subscription expires, the assigned user loses access to Premium-specific features. Premium workspaces and content become read-only, and the user reverts to a Power BI Free or Pro entitlement depending on their existing Microsoft 365 plan. To restore full functionality, you must purchase and assign a new PPU license.
License details and activation instructions are delivered by email and to your Lizensa customer account within seconds of payment confirmation. In most cases, you can begin the activation process immediately.
Yes. Every license sold by Lizensa is 100% genuine and sourced through authorised European distribution. You receive a legitimate Microsoft subscription that is fully compliant with Microsoft’s licensing terms and valid across the EU.

Under EU consumer law, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal on digital goods. However, because software licenses are activated immediately upon delivery, the refund eligibility may depend on whether activation has occurred. Contact Lizensa support for specific guidance on your situation.
PPU includes all Pro features plus dedicated compute capacity, larger dataset limits (up to 100 GB vs. 1 GB), 48 daily refreshes (vs. 8), AI-powered analytics, deployment pipelines, and XMLA endpoint read/write. It is designed for power users who need enterprise capabilities without an organisation-wide Premium capacity subscription.
You need a Microsoft work or school account, which typically comes with a Microsoft 365 or Office 365 plan. PPU is an add-on license assigned to an existing user account in your organisation’s tenant. It does not include email, file storage, or other Microsoft 365 productivity applications.
