You can use Power BI Report Server when you don't want your reports published to the Power BI service. + +With the release of SQL Server 2025, PBIRS has become the default reporting solution for SQL Server and no new versions of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) will be released. This means that for deployments of SQL Server 2025, you can deploy Power BI Report Server on AWS. This applies to SQL Server Enterprise and Standard editions, for both License Included and BYOL deployments. For SQL Server versions prior to 2025, PBIRS is not permitted on AWS. Instead, use SSRS or the Power BI Service (SaaS). + +On License Included instances, retrieve the product key from `C:\SQLServerSetup\x64\DefaultSetup.ini` or by running the SQL Server setup program. For BYOL licensing details, including core-count requirements and failover instance rules, see the [Microsoft SQL Server 2025 Product Terms](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms/productoffering/SQLServer/EAEAS). + +###### Note + +A Power BI Pro User Subscription License is required to publish shared reports. + +For hardware requirements, see [System requirements for Power BI Report Server](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/system-requirements). + +For installation instructions, see [Install Power BI Report Server](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/install-report-server).
