    Yes, Power BI Report Server is available through two different licenses: Power BI Premium and SQL Server Enterprise Edition with Software Assurance. With a Power BI Premium license, you can create a hybrid deployment mixing cloud and on-premises.

     

    For Power BI Premium, Power BI Report Server is only included with P SKUs. It is not included with EM SKUs.

Hi there

 

You talking about premium though.  

 

I am talking about Report Server on Premise. I want to confirm that this is free if you have SQL server Enterprise version.  Client does not want to purchase premium. The plan is to use Report Server on Premise (free under SQL Enterprise) and then purchase Pro licenses.

 

Regards

Chris
