I've read the paper "Planning a Power BI Enterprise Deployment" by Chris Webb and Melissa Coates regarding Power BI Report Server. The following is stated:
Question 1) Does this mean it's not possible to use Power BI Service in combination with Power BI Report Server - Software Assurance addition?
Also,
Question 2) I have a SQL Server with 8 cores and a corresponding SQL Server Enterprise Edition 8 core license with SA. Am I allowed to use this machine to run a SQL DB, SSIS and Power BI Report Server? Or do I need to buy an additional license specially for Power BI Report Server? Does Power BI Report Server requires a dedicated Enterprise License with SA?
My understanding of Question #1 is that you have a license to use RS but you can also use the Service as part of your license. They are not exclusive.
For question #2, not exactly sure.
Thanks for your reply Greg!Do you have a link to (Microsoft) documentation with this information?
