    Hi Anonymous ,

    if you have SQL Server Enterprise + Software Assurance you get the Power BI Report Server for free - but you will need Pro Licence for Power BI for everybody who will publish. But you don't need any licence for your viewer/consumer.

      Thank you, Kathrin

       

      Am little confused. getting conflicting infromation: 

      1: So by defulat when I purchase Enterprise edition, PBI RS included ? if so why  does it say:  Add self-service BI on a per user basis".

      here  on 2019 SQL Server Enterprise Edition page.

       

      Enterprise

      Comprehensive, mission-critical performance for demanding database and business intelligence requirements. Provides the highest service and performance levels for Tier-1 workloads.[1]Per core[2]Volume licensing, hosting$14,256[3]

       

      2: Software Assurance benefits include unlimited virtualization, Machine Learning Server for Hadoop, and Power BI Report Server: here on 2017 SQL Server Enterprise Edition datasheet.

       

      Do I have to pay any extra for Power BI licensing if I have SQL Server Enterprise Edition ?

      if so is it Unlimited users, or per user ?

       

      Thank you!
