Typically publishing from an older version of Desktop to a new server will work OK (but you should still try to upgrade as soon as you can to keep the desktop and server versions aligned)

No you cannot publish from September desktop to the May server. The September desktop will contain functionality that the May server does not understand so things will probably break.

    Is PBIRS September aligned with Power BI Desktop September or August?

    Can I publish report on PBIRS September if my users are upgraded to Power BI Desktop September.

      Power BI Report Server (September 2019) & companion Desktop App are completely different to the monthly Power BI Desktop release.

       

      To publish reports to a local PBIRS you must download the corresponding PBI Desktop app (September 2019 release)

      NOT the monthly Power BI Desktop.

       

      Both can be found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=57270

      Hope that helps
