Hi @Anonymous ,

if you have SQL Server Enterprise + Software Assurance you get the Power BI Report Server for free - but you will need Pro Licence for Power BI for everybody who will publish. But you don't need any licence for your viewer/consumer.

Thank you, Kathrin

 

Am little confused. getting conflicting infromation: 

1: So by defulat when I purchase Enterprise edition, PBI RS included ? if so why  does it say:  Add self-service BI on a per user basis".

here  on 2019 SQL Server Enterprise Edition page.

 

Enterprise

Comprehensive, mission-critical performance for demanding database and business intelligence requirements. Provides the highest service and performance levels for Tier-1 workloads.[1]Per core[2]Volume licensing, hosting$14,256[3]

 

2: Software Assurance benefits include unlimited virtualization, Machine Learning Server for Hadoop, and Power BI Report Server: here on 2017 SQL Server Enterprise Edition datasheet.

 

Do I have to pay any extra for Power BI licensing if I have SQL Server Enterprise Edition ?

if so is it Unlimited users, or per user ?

 

Thank you!
