reporting licences
3 TopicsPower BI Report Server + Power bi Client
Hello everyone. I'm new with Power BI Report Server and Power BI. I tried to understand the licensing of Power BI but it's quiet hard and nobody from Microsoft return my calls. We choose Power BI Report Server because we want to keep all data and put nothing into the cloud. I thought that when you take a licence for Power BI Report Server all people from the compagny can have access to the reports. So I create my report with Power BI Desktop Report, I store it on the Power Bi Report Server, then I publish it. But when someone want to see the published report, it's said that use the trial version for Power Bi. So I need to pay the Power BI Report Server AND all licences for every people in my compagny ? I totaly lost and it's hard to understand a thing about licences in Power Bi without anyone to speak with. Can you help me ? Sorry for errors, English is not my mother tongue Thanks Pierre Demolliens269Views0likes0CommentsPower BI : Reporting Server Licensing Alternative
Hello Experts This question is regarding sharing the Power BI reports vis-a-vis licensing with reference to a small organisation. The organisation has around 20 users who needs to view Power BI reports. Now, I understand that (now not so) recent changes in the licensing, Power BI is favourable to large organisations. However, I think of following two options to fit it to my purpose. Your opinion on feasibility will be highly appreciated. Install Power BI on all 20 machines. All 20 users will have power BI pro license (which is just $ 10 per month). The .PBIX file will be on network drive. The users can open and view the exact same report any time. (I know this is a silly option but perhaps workable ?) Publish Power BI in the Sharepoint site. Purchase 20 Pro licenses and give users read only access (as I do not want them to edit the report). Okay, one more option-**bleep**-question : Is it possible to have a report on stand-alone .net portal to which the user will have their own sign-in credentials (no single-sign on or integration to existing credentials). Once they sign-in, the Power BI report will be shown. In order to show the report, only one Pro license will be used. This, if this is possible, I can reduce the cost of overall solution without purchasing additional licenses. Thanks in advance for your response.Solved3.2KViews0likes4CommentsReporting Services and Power BI reports on SQL Server 2017
Hi everyone, I have a server with a SQL Server 2017 installed. I want to know if it's possibile to use the product key of the installed SQL Server to install SQL Reporting Services. However, I have also the following questions: - Which licence of SQL Server allows me to add the licenced Reporting Services? Can SQL Server Standard Edition allow me in this purpose? - If I've SQL Server Standard Edition installed, what kind of licence can I install of Reporting Services? - What's the difference beetwen install Reporting Services to publish PowerBI reports and install Power BI Server for the same purpose? Are they the same features or not? Which would be the best way nowadays? Consider that now I'm working with Power BI Desktop (August 2018) to design the reports. Thank you in advance.
