SQL Server Licencing for Power BI Report Server
Hi,
We have Power BI Premium and are planning to deploy Power BI Report Server, which is free with the premium licence.
The SQL DB required for the report server is free according to the documentation is free as long as its solely used for the report server link(p30), it doesn't mention enterprise or standard. I've just come across some documentation that suggests that you can't publish reports to the report server unless its the SQL Server Enterprise version link, just wanted advice on which version of SQL is should be using to enable user to publish PBIX reports without paying for additional licencing! thanks
Check your first link again. Report Server can run on any version. Does not require Enterprise. The SQL part is only used for meta data management.
