Do you support Power BI Embedded, Publish to Web or Power BI Report Server?

I'm building a solution to deploy to a customer

The licenses need to be purchased for the tenant that the report will be deployed to. If you do not have admin access to that tenant, you may need the customer to arrange purchasing licenses.

You may also need licenses for the tenant the reports are being built under, if this is not the same as the customer's tenant.

What currencies can I pay in?

You will be charged according to the currency set up in your payment profile. This is usually local currency. Prices are set in US dollars and converted to local currency by Microsoft.
