Power BI Report Server Evaluation/Developer Editions
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,

What happens after it expires? What are the options?

Can you please define the " Business purpose" ?
- Skeletor7 years agoHelper I
Business Purpose means production environment. I think to clarify this means to use PBIRS to deliver reports and/or data to end users with production data. The developer edition can be used to develop reports in a development environment, this reports can be moved up to a production environment that has the appropriate production environment licensing.

Hi, dan you tell me if the Developer license expires? I know it cant be used for production purposes. We have power BI premium for production but I want to know if we can continue to use the "developer license" or if it will time bomb. Thanks
