Install PowerBi Server

No they don't need those other licenses to access power BI Reports.
But if you do have O365 licenses it's worth checking the level of those as some of the higher levels come bundled with a Power BI Pro license.
Hi d_gosbell
As I understood, we have two options to install Power BI Server:
Option 1: SQL EE + SA (as mentionned here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/compare-report-server-service)
Option 2 : SQL + Power BI Premium.
1- For the 2nd option the SQl edition is not mentionned (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/system-requirements)
2- Is there any difference between the two options ?
Thnak you in advance.
1- For the 2nd option the SQl edition is not mentionned (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/system-requirements)
I think it works fine with Web, Standard or Enterprise as it needs SQL Agent in order to do scheduled refresh and schedule report delivery.
2- Is there any difference between the two options ?
No, these are just licensing options, there is no difference in functionality.
Right before closing this thread 🙂
