Licensing and manual renewal

This section is intended for Analytics+ customers who use a licensed, Microsoft-certified version of the visual from AppSource with an offline license key.

When you purchase a certified Analytics+ visual from AppSource, you will need to assign licenses to report developers from the Microsoft Admin Portal.

Who is a license admin?

The person responsible for purchasing the Analytics+ visual is the license administrator. After the payment details are updated successfully, the purchaser becomes the license admin. If the purchaser intends to use Analytics+, they must assign a license to themselves as well.

License validity and renewal

The Inforiver support team will share a license key file in JSON format with you. The license needs to be applied to every Analytics+ visual and has a validity of 1 year. At the end of the validity period, follow the steps outlined to apply the renewed license for all Analytics+ visuals in your Power BI reports(pbix files).

1. Power BI reports that do not have a theme applied

STEP 1: Navigate to the View ribbon in the Power BI toolbar > click the Browse for themes option from the dropdown menu.
