Description

I have published a custom visual on AppSource and I'm trying to use the Power BI License API (powerbi.licenses.getLicenseInfo()) to check the user's license status. However, the API does not return any trial or purchase detail in the response.

What I'm expecting:

Information such as isTrial, isLicensed, purchaseSite, and expirationDate to be returned correctly when the visual is installed from AppSource

What I'm experiencing:

  • The API response is empty when No license purchase.

  • when license purchase then no any flag for istrial or expiration date.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Power BI License API call powerbi.licenses.getLicenseInfo() and the reported empty response for visuals installed from AppSource. Compare responses for no purchase and a purchase, including the expected trial, license, purchase-site, and expiration fields. Done means the API behavior or its documented limitation is established for both cases.
