On Premis Report Server Licence
Help, if we have SQL Server Enterprise with active Software Assurance (SA). Does this include use of on-prem Power BI Report Server without requiring a Power BI Premium subscription? I explained ...

Either way you license Power BI Report Server, “publisher” users who publish Power BI reports to the report server for others to access need Power BI Pro licenses, whereas “reader” users who merely view reports don’t need any per-user licenses.
Is there no way around this? My company is very anti-cloud and needing Power BI Pro licenses (cloud account) for an on premises solution is a no go for us. Otherwise we would very much like to have PBIRS.

You only need to purchase a set of licenses. You don't need to create user accounts in the cloud if you don't want to.

Thank you for the response, that eases my mind. Looking forward to use PBIRS in our company :smileyhappy:
