+> *SKUs that are smaller than F64 require a Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license, or a Power BI individual trial to consume Power BI content. `To distribute content through Power BI apps, we require Premium capacity (F64 or higher) so that free users can access the content without needing a Pro license.`
