Hi there:
I am trying to determine the CAL licensing requirements for SQL Server, when a number of users view an embedded Power BI report in SharePoint Online. The tricky part here is that the underlying data source for the Power BI report is scheduled to refresh daily, and pulls data from a local SQL Sever database via the On-Premise Data Gateway Service. All of the users are licensed with Power BI Pro.
It seems like this could be a multiplexing scenario, which means we would need a CAL for each individual user, but that seems odd since the gateway service is actually making the connection to the database on a scheduled basis.
Here's what I was reading on the multiplexing scenario: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/briefs/multiplexing.aspx
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
