4 TopicsPB Report Server and licensing
Some of my clients can't go Cloud. They need to run everything on prem. The problem is that they don't want to deal with any additional licensing stuff. Is there a license that a company cant buy and distribute it with its product? ThanksSolved1.1KViews0likes5CommentsChange licensing model for Power BI Report Server
Hello, I've installed Power BI Report Server using our SQL Enterprise Edition + Software Assurance. There's a requirement to change the licensing model to Power BI Premium. What is required as far as the installation of Power BI Report Server, in order to change the licensing?Solved2.1KViews0likes1CommentLicenses Requirements for Viewing
I have looked through the community and posts, so please excuse me if I did not find the answer where someone has already asked. Background: I have a paid Pro account (myself and 1 other member). All report viewers are signed up for free accounts. Reports are on a shared workspace. Issue: 1 viewer can no longer view the reports shared with him. He signed up back in November for the free account. It is now telling him to upgrade to Pro. This is the begining of our Power BI reporting, so we have shared roughly 10-15 reports with about 10 people (all with free users) since Oct - now. (So Far) There is only the user getting this message. I have been doing research to try and figure this out, but the information that we (myself and IT) have come across seems to be contradictary. Most of what I can find, says that in order for me (Pro user) to share my reports the viewer would have to be a Pro user as well. I feel like this can't be as then we would have to set up 100ish Pro accounts just to look at a report. Also, I found this chart that shows Pro user sharing reports with Free users. But how do I accomplish this? Can I be a Pro user and set up the workspace as Premium then share to Free users? Can I be a Pro user Premium (per user) and share to free users? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-premium-what-is#dedicated-capacities What is the best way & most cost efficient way for me to share reports with others who will only be viewing the reports?

Hi everyone, I am a little bit confused with all the information regarding the licensing of Power BI Report Server. Currently I have a scenario where I cannot take advantages of cloud so we will focus only on on-premises licensing. This is a BI architecture so we will be using a hosting company that provides the VMs for SQL Server with SPLA licenses (SQLSvrEntCore 2019 SNGL OLP 2Lic NL CoreLic Qlfd). Will I need to request more of these licenses from the hosting provider to the cover the Power BI Report Server VM? If so, are these licenses types ok to cover the PBIRS? If not, I need to request customer to aquire individual licenses for this and use BYOL? What is the licensing for UAT and DEV environments? Regards, LSSolved2.7KViews0likes3Comments
