Power BI Premium is a tenant-level Microsoft 365 subscription available in two SKU (Stock-Keeping Unit) families:
P SKUs (P1-P5) for embedding and enterprise features, requiring a monthly or yearly commitment, billed monthly, and includes a license to install Power BI Report Server on-premises.
SO within FNMS should this license be configured to count and consume servers/server cores, or users?
@jq3i4h9u - I agree that this seems to be confusing.
Power BI is a component of Office 365 and would therefore typically be licensed as a subscription based on assigning users to your Office 365 subscription, and would therefore be a "Named User" subscription license in FlexNet Manager.
But, as indicated in your Microsoft link, there is mention that Power BI Premium can also be licensed by "capacity". I found a couple of hits on software reseller sites for your SKU and the cost per license is close to $50,000 USD. That does not seem like a User-based license, it seems like a capacity-based license.
Based on the following link, the entitlement that you purchased is for an On-Premises Instance of Power BI Server that provides up to 16 cores of capacity. Therefore, you should submit a request to Support to get the Flexera SKU Library updated.
