How to get the Product Key for Reporting Services where the SQL Server instance Product Key is embedded in the media

I would like to know how to get the Product Key for my SQL instance. The media used to do the installation was got from VLSC and the Product Key is embedded in the media. Now I need to add SSRS to the existing SQL instance. In VLSC no key is associated with the SQL instance and Reporting Services is not listed as a product to be downloaded.

In my research I saw an article about getting the key from the Registry but the product code I saw in Registry is more than the 25 characters that the install media is looking for. Kindly advise please. Thank you

    Hi @PTL_SQL

    You can use the SQL Server Setup Wizard or extract the key.ini from DeafultSetup. For more details, you can refer to this link: https://jacktracey.co.uk/sql/finding-the-license-key-for-sql-server-reporting-services/.
