Report Server Development/Test Licensing

[dzg7pl]

Hi there,

We need to install PBRIS into our development/test environment to enable us to validate product releases, future integrations and report development. All our developers have MSDN licenses. Apart from the 180 day trial, are there any other options for more permanent/longer term development/test licenses?

Cheers

Tim

Where you able to use a SQL developer version to get this to work? I tries and received the error "does not work withthis version of SQL server"

Hi @dzg7pl,

You can download Power BI report server installation file from here to configure Developer edition in your environment. To install report server, please follow this article: Install Power BI Report Server.

What are the differences between the developer edition and the 180 trial/full licensed edition?

[jtarquino]

Functionality wise there are not differences, the difference is in the licensing and usage restrictions; for example developer edition cannot be used for production deployments.

Is the developer edition a completely separate installation package? Or is is the same with an option within to select the version?

[jtarquino]

It is the same package

[jtarquino]

Yes there is the Developer edition for that
