How to find your report server product key

Learn how you can find your Power BI Report Server product key to install your server in a production environment.

Note

This video might use earlier versions of Power BI Report Server or the Power BI service.

You downloaded Power BI Report Server, and you have a SQL Server Enterprise Software Assurance agreement. Or, you purchased Power BI Premium. You want to install the server in a production environment, but you need a product key in order to do that. Where is the product key? The product key will be in one of two places depending on what you purchased.

Note

If you’re using a subscription license for SQL Server that also grants use rights to Power BI Report Server, submit a support request through the software portal you normally use to get assistance for this scenario.

You can't use a developer product key in a production environment.

Purchased Power BI Premium

If you have purchased Power BI Premium, within the Capacity settings tab of the Power BI admin portal, you will have access to your Power BI Report Server product key. This will only be available for Global Admins or users assigned the Power BI service administrator role.

Selecting Power BI Report Server key will display a dialog contain your product key. You can copy it and use it with the installation.

Purchased Software Assurance agreement

If you have a SQL Server Enterprise SA agreement, you can get your product key from the Volume Licensing Service Center. Look under the latest service pack, for the latest version of SQL Server. If you don't see it there, look under the RTM release of the latest SQL Server version.

Note

You need to look under the download section. Not the keys section.
