I have office365 e3 subscription which provides Power Apps and Power Automate aceess. I want to use a premium connector Plumsail in my flow but it asks for free 30 days trial.
My question is do I need to buy P1 or P2 license for Power Automate in order to use any premium connector without its trial version or all the premium connectors have their specific license to buy even if I have P1 or P2 license?

If your flow is triggered from a Power App via the Power Apps trigger then you will need some flavour of Power Apps premium license. If your flow is triggered outside of the Power Apps, e.g. when an item is created in a SharePoint list, then the user who created the flow (you) will need a Flow per-user license.

My flow is triggered when an item in a SharePoint list gets modified through any source like Power Apps application. And then there are some html files that are saved in SharePoint list which I am using to generate the pdf through a premium connector. In this case do I only need Power Automate P1 license and no specific license for Power Apps?
What about the other users who are going to use this flow of pdf generation. Do all those users require Power Automate P1 license.

P1 license to access it for your users.

We got smart though. We have one user who has a P2 license. I do all the development under this user for PowerApps/Automate. When a premium connector (like SQL) is involved, we ensure it is not done directly in in the UI of the PowerApp that we build. So normally it’s a scheduled flow which runs under that one P2 user. This way our 120+ other company employees do not need any license. Makes development more difficult and less user friendly but cost less.

Definitely one way to do it but a word of caution, this is considered multiplexing and MS don’t allow it in their terms of use. You may be required at some point to licence users. Enjoy it while you can though!
