SQL Server EE + SA - Power BI reporting server
Just to confirm as well, in the purely on-premise solution you definately won't need a pro license for every user. Only those which intend to author/publish reports.
Glad it's helped.
With regard to number of users, the limitations will be your hardware. There are no limitations in the context of your AD domain (you could allow every user on your domain access to the Report Server if you wish).
Here's an extract from the licensing terms which I think partly confirms your situation:
4.6 Use of Power BI Report Server – SQL Server Enterprise Edition
Customer may run Power BI Report Server software on the Licensed Server. Customer may run the software on a maximum numbers of cores equal to the number of SQL Server Enterprise Edition Core Licenses with active SA assigned to that Server, subject to a minimum of four cores per OSE. Use is additionally subject to the applicable terms of Customer’s volume license agreement. A Power BI Pro User SL is required to publish shared Power BI reports using the Power BI Report Server. This right expires upon expiration of Customer’s SA coverage.

Great!
THANKS A LOT.
just share official link of above documentation # 4.6.
No probs.
The term was taken from the Volume Licensing Product Terms (official Microsoft document). You can download a copy here:

Download the doc and search for section 4.6.
Thanks
