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

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 is in one of these places, depending on what you purchased:

Purchased Power BI Premium
Purchased F64+ Reserved Instance
Purchased Software Assurance agreement

Note

If you have a subscription license for SQL Server Enterprise Edition with Software Assurance, it 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.

For more details, see the section "Use of Power BI Report Server – SQL Server Enterprise Edition" in SQL Server licensing.

Purchased Power BI Premium

If your organization has purchased Power BI Premium capacity, you can get the key for Power BI Report Server from the Premium Settings tab in the admin portal. The key is accessible to only users with Global admin, Fabric admin, or Power BI Premium capacity admin privileges.
