    Yes, you are probably right. If the hosting company providing licenses with SA then SQL Server EE should be enough to use PBIRS for production. Meanwhile, you can use a Trial version of PBIRS for DEV & UAT. 

     

    Note: PBIRS trial version is valid for 180 Days only I think.

Hi Farhan,

 

We will not be able to use Azure since there is no DC on the region.

The question was that the hosting company provides licenses with SA.. So I am assuming I have to aquire the correspondent SQL Server EE with SA for the Power BI Report Server machine (production only) and for UAT and DEV use the free?

 

Regards,

LS
