PowerBI Report Server License

Hello,

 

We would like to take a license for our on premises report server.

As far as I understood the Power BI Premium (per capacity) is mostly for Cloud usage but it seems to be the only place where we can get the License Key for the report server. Is there any other way to get it? We are only interested in having a license for our report server and users should be able to connect to it for using the reports.

You can either purchase it through buying a premium capacity or through SQL Server Enterprise Edition with Software Assurance (see What is Power BI Report Server? - Power BI | Microsoft Learn ) but from what I understand the pricing is pretty much the same its just a different way of paying.
