Power BI Report Server Evaluation/Developer Editions

Power BI Report Server is available in two free editions:
- Evaluation (180 days)
and
- Developer.

1) What is the difference between them?
2) Is there any technical limitation comparing to the production edition?

    Same product, same features, just different licenses.

      Jon-Heide, thank you for your answer!
      a) Could you please tell, what is the difference between Evaluation and Developer licenses?

      b) Also as I understood, there is no technical limitation comparing to the production edition, correct?

        Hi duhast2017,

         

        1. The Evaluation will expired after 180 days. And the Developer can't be used for business purpose. 

        2. Both Evaluation and Developer provide same technical features. 

         

        Best Regards,
        Qiuyun Yu

    When using PBI Report Server Evaluation edition, doesn't changes in the web.config then takes effect?

    I'm trying to add maxRequestLength="8192" to web.config cause I have one huge SSRS rdl-report (7 Mb). 

    Default value of the property maxRequestLength is 4 Mb.

      There should not be any issues changing this in the web.config. The Evaluation edition is fully functional, it just expires after 180 days.
