Power BI Report Server offline installation
Hi Jon - My installation of Power BI Report Server is on a server that deliberately has no internet connectivity. I can confirm that the installation can take place offline and with no external connectivity, providing you have the a valid licence key to enter.
Solution SageI think as long as you have the software downloaded on the machine locally with the license key, it should work - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/machine-learning/install/sql-ml-component-install-without-internet-access?view=sql-server-ver16
Thank you for the answer.
Agree, I believe it should work, but I am looking for certainty.
The link provides great details on offline installations for specific extensions to SQL Server 2016, not for Power BI report server.

So if you NEED to install the software without internet, then go ahead and do it. Let us know how it goes.
