1. I have a developer who only creates or edits reports in Power BI desktop. This developer will never publish reports. Does this developer need a named developer license?
Yes, if that developer is creating or editing Power BI reports that include Inforiver Charts or Matrix.
2. I have a developer who only publishes Power BI reports that other report developers create or edit. Does this developer need a named developer license?
Yes, if that developer is publishing Power BI reports that include Inforiver Charts or Matrix.
3. I have 5 Power BI report developers. Can I purchase a single named developer license and assign it to the developer when they need to create, edit, or publish a Power BI report that includes an Inforiver Chart or Matrix?
No, named developer licenses cannot be rotated within a pool of developers. All developers that will create, edit, or publish Power BI reports that contain Inforiver Charts or Matrix must have a separate named developer license. So, in this example, if all five developers will be creating, editing, or publishing Power BI reports that contain Inforiver Charts or Matrix, then you will need five named developer licenses.
4. I have a Power BI report developer who left the team. Can I reassign their named developer license to their replacement?
5. I have a Power BI report developer who is on leave. Can I temporarily reassign their named developer license to the Power BI report developer to fill in for them while they are on leave?
6. I have 5 Power BI report developers that use a service account to create, edit, and/or publish Power BI reports. Since they use a service account, can I purchase a single developer license and assign it to the service account?
No, named developer licenses cannot be shared using a service account. All developers that will create, edit, or publish Power BI reports that contain Inforiver Charts or Matrix must have a separate named developer license. So, in this example, if all five developers will be creating, editing, or publishing Power BI reports that contain Inforiver Charts and Matrix, then you will need five named developer licenses regardless of whether those developers are using their own login or a service account.
