Hi, Anonymous 

 

If you installed the keyless version before, the updated version should also be the keyless version. It’s not easy to judge the problem. Can the original version work normally?

Have you tried to update again? Have you made a backup? Do you remember whether it showed up for you to fill in the key when updating? 

Is the update interface like this?

Best Regards

Janey Guo

Hi Janey,

 

The update interface looked like this:

 

The update process never asked me to put the product key in. I made a backup of the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB and the virtual machine that contains the Report Server Installation, but I haven't tried to update again.

 

The current version works fine, but the developers that are currently working with PowerBI want the last available version.

 

Best regards.
