How many times can I refresh in PBI Report Server with Pro license

 


I have a Pro license. How many times can I refresh in PBI Report Server with Pro license? If I want to set a 30-minute interval, do I need a Premium license?

 

Thanks in advance!

Pro License is only for Power Bi Service. There is no licenses in Power BI Report Server. 

 

You just need a product key at the time you install report server. You can get the product key for Power BI Report Server from two different sources:

  • Power BI Premium
  • SQL Server Enterprise Software Assurance (SA)

There are also 2 free editions, Evaluation will expired after 180 days, and Developer can't be used for business purpose. 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/install-report-server 

 

Once you configured your report server, you can step up schedule refresh to 30 minutes.

You do need to have Pro License to publish at PBIRS (On-Prem).

Ref : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/get-started

 

Yes, You can create many refreshes as you can in PBIRS. We have reports that are refreshing on an hourly basis. I think you can create 48 or possibly more than 48 refreshes for your report.
