How to get the SQL Server Enterprise Licence to install the Power Bi Report Server?

Hi all,

Following the instructions for installing Power Bi Report Server, I have tried to obtain a product key from the Volume Licensing Service Center as there is a "SQL Server Enterprise SA agreement". However, on the Microsoft site, a product key cannot be downloaded in the SQL Server section. There is only a note that no key is required for this product.

Does anyone have any idea where my error is?

Hi all,

 

we already purchase the SQL Server Enterprise. The key can be find in the download section ( special instructions) instead of the key section:

Hi all, 

 

when I try to log into the Volume Licensing Service Center, I am taken directly to the M365 Admin Center.

There is no Power BI product, but there are many SQL Server products (Pro Core; Server/CAL; Web...). However, all without a didicated key. We have serveral Version: 2022, 2019, 2017

That sounds like you might not have Software Assurance. You could contact your Microsoft Account representative and check with them.

Thanks for your reply. I am really sure that there is a SA agreement for the next 3 years. Should I find the key in the SQL Server section or in a Power Bi section?

I'm having the same issue.  We definitely have SA for SQL Enterprise but the key does not show up in the new M365 Admin Center.  All my options have been removed from VLSC.

 

EDIT:  Nevermind, I just found where to get the key.  At the download page in the Admin Center, click the "View additional instructions" link.
