Upgrade Power BI Report Server - License Key

Our IT team had installed the June GA version of Power BI Report Server on a VM that our team manages. We have SQL Server Enteprise with SA license so PBIRS is free with that. 

 

Now that the October version is out, can my team go ahead and download it from the Power BI Report Server download page  and upgrade ourselves (with license key intact) or does it need to be downloaded from the Volume Licensing Center only?

Yes, you can upgrade to the October release. You do not need to re-enter the license key again as long as you had keyed in the license key with your June release installation.
