The only way to increase the capacity is purchasing premium capacity. Without premium capacity, the max model size is limited to1GB. Change the MaxFileSizeMb in report server will not effect the capacity limitation in power bi service.

What you mentioned are the two ways you can get the product key for Power BI Report Server: Power BI Premium and SQL Server Enterprise Software Assurance (SA).

For report server see this:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/install-report-server#before-you-begin

 

However, you cannot take advantage of SA when you comes into Power BI service. They are two different products. 

For Power bi service, the capacity section mentioned the max model size: 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-basic-concepts 

 

Check difference between Power BI service and Report Server:
