License renewal

This section is intended for Inforiver Reporting Matrix customers who use a licensed, Microsoft-certified version of the visual from AppSource.

The Inforiver support team will share a license key file in JSON format with you. The license needs to be applied to every Inforiver Reporting Matrix 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 Reporting Matrix visuals in your Power BI reports(pbix files).

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