Uploading report from newer version of Power BI

Hi everyone,

 

I have a Power BI Reporting server from March 2018 deployed on server. I used Power BI Desktop RS version of March 2018 to upload reports. I updated report using Power BI Desktop RS May 2019, and wanted to upload it to server. However, I got error that it newer version. So, should I reinstall Power BI Reporting server or update Power BI Desktop? If I need to reinstall PBI RS, can I have two instances of RS on server?

Thanks.

Regards,

Yerkhan

Your Power BI Report Server version must match the Power BI Desktop RS edition. I *believe* you can have multiple instances but don't quote me on that.
