Report Server - how to upgrade?
Hi, I installed the first "preview" version of Power BI Report server when it was released.
However, I've noticed there seems to be a new version now available - how do I upgrade? Can I install over the top or do I need to uninstall previous version first?
Also, I've downloaded these from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55329. Is this correct location to get the installs for us SQL Enterprise / Software assurance customers? Or is that just a trial version?
There didnt seem to be a blog post for the new version being released so how are we supposed to know each time a version is released?
Hi Anonymous,
We can upgrade to Power BI report server GA version, but based on my test, during the upgrade, it doesn't have option for us to enter product key. See: Upgrade Power BI Report Server.
In your scenario, as you have product key, I would suggest you uninstall the preview version and install the GA Jun version. See: Quickstart: Install Power BI Report Server.
