Finding SQL Server 2022 Web Edition License Key for SSRS

Tom Bixby 20

I am presently licensing SQL Server 2022 Web Edition on an SPLA license on a hosted cloud server. The hosting partner does not presently offer a cloud server image for SQL Server 2022 which includes Reporting Services. I understand that a SSRS license comes with SQL Server 2022 Web Edition.

If I try to install SSRS myself, it requires a Product Key. Should I expect that my hosting partner will be willing/able to provide that key, or provide a service to install that software for me?

If not, is there another way to get a Product Key to install SSRS on that Web Edition instance?

I used EaseUS Key Finder to retrieve the product key of my SQL Server 2022 Web Edition on an IONOS server, but when I try to enter it into the SSRS 2022 installation wizards, it tells me the key is invalid...

Has anyone found a solution on installing SSRS 2022 with SQL Server 2022 Web Edition?

Thank you for your response. I will mark your answer as accepted. My hosting partner was able to identify the product key and install SSRS.

Some feedback for you. I tried to contact a Microsoft Licensing Specialist, but your phone auto attendant would prevent me from ever speaking to a human. When I call and identify myself as a business caller and mention I have questions about SQL Server Reporting Services licensing, your phone system gives me a website URL and ends the call. If I try to call back, the system remembers my phone number and my inquiry and gives me the same website URL and disconnects. A very poor customer service experience.

On my an AWS instance of Windows Server 2022 with SQL Server, I did not receive SQL Server installation media or a license key because SQL Server was preinstalled. But Reporting Services was not preinstalled and requires a license key for a non-trial installation. Is there a way to get my license key so that I can install SSRS, which I am licensed to run?

SSRS is include in the SQL Server license and you can use the same product key to install SSRS as for SQL Server itself. Only the installer are separated, licens&key are the same.

What to do in the case of an AWS instance of Windows Server with SQL Server preinstalled but not SSRS? There are no installation media and no license key. Without the SQL Server license key I can install only non-production versions of SSRS.
