About this licence
Microsoft Power BI Report Server 36 Months – Secure On-Premises Reporting with Hybrid Cloud Flexibility
Take full control of your business intelligence data without sacrificing modern analytical capabilities. Microsoft Power BI Report Server is the enterprise-grade, on-premises reporting solution that allows your organisation to host, manage, and distribute interactive Power BI reports, paginated reports, and mobile reports entirely behind your own firewall. This 36-month subscription license provides a stable, long-term deployment window, eliminating the administrative burden of annual renewals and offering predictable budgeting for multi-year IT projects.
Unlike the fully cloud-hosted Power BI Service, Report Server is installed on your own infrastructure, ensuring sensitive data never leaves your controlled environment. This makes it the definitive choice for regulated industries, government agencies, and any business with strict data residency or compliance requirements. The key advantage is the ability to deliver modern, visually rich Power BI reports to your users via a secure web portal, while optionally connecting to the Power BI cloud service for a hybrid approach. You get the visual power of Power BI with the data sovereignty of an on-premises server. This license covers a full 36-month term, providing access to all product updates released during that period, and is delivered digitally for immediate deployment.
Key Features and Benefits
On-Premises Data Sovereignty: Install Power BI Report Server on your own Windows servers, keeping all report data and metadata strictly within your network perimeter. This directly addresses compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and other data protection regulations by ensuring you control data storage and access.
Hybrid Cloud Connectivity: Leverage the best of both worlds. You can keep core datasets on-premises for security while using Power BI cloud features for sharing and collaboration, or publish reports to the cloud for mobile consumption without migrating your entire data estate.
Unified Report Management Portal: Manage all your organisation's reporting needs from a single, web-based portal. Users can access interactive Power BI reports, traditional paginated operational reports, and mobile reports in one place, simplifying the user experience and reducing training overhead.
Enterprise-Grade Security Model: Enforce granular data access with row-level security (RLS) and integrate seamlessly with your existing Active Directory for role-based access control. This ensures users only see the data they are authorised to view, a critical feature for large, multi-departmental organisations.
Predictable 36-Month Term: A single purchase covers three full years of usage, locking in your cost and reducing the administrative overhead associated with annual license procurement. This term is ideal for long-term projects and organisations with multi-year budgeting cycles.

The license allows for installation on your own server infrastructure, supporting both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures where applicable, and requires an internet connection for the initial activation process.

Internet: An active internet connection is required for product activation.
Languages: The product interface supports English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish.
Note: Exact system requirements can vary based on the specific edition and deployment scale. We strongly recommend consulting the official Microsoft documentation for your specific environment before activating the product.

The process from purchase to production is designed to be efficient and secure. Immediately after your payment is processed, you will receive an email containing your license key and a step-by-step activation guide. This digital delivery typically occurs within seconds, allowing you to begin deployment without delay.
Activation is performed by downloading the Power BI Report Server software from the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) using the credentials associated with your organisation's Microsoft agreement. You will then run the installer on your target Windows Server and enter the license key when prompted. The system requires an internet connection to validate the key and complete activation. Should you encounter any issues, Lizensa provides free multilingual technical support to assist with installation and activation questions.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a subscription or a one-time purchase?
This is a subscription license for a fixed 36-month term. It is not a one-time, perpetual purchase. You will have full access to the software and any updates released during the three-year period, after which the license expires and must be renewed to continue using the software.
How fast will I receive my license key after purchase?
Our digital delivery system sends your license key and activation guide to your email address almost instantly. In most cases, you will receive it within 60 seconds of a successful payment. The information is also stored in your Lizensa customer account for easy retrieval.
Is this a genuine, legally compliant Microsoft license?
Absolutely. Every license sold by Lizensa is 100% genuine and sourced through authorised European distribution channels. You will receive a valid key that passes Microsoft's activation and audit processes, backed by a full VAT invoice for your records.
What if I have trouble with the activation process?
Lizensa provides free multilingual technical support to all customers. If you encounter any issues during download, installation, or activation, you can contact our support team, and we will guide you through the process to a successful resolution.
Can I reinstall or transfer this license to another server?
The license is generally tied to the server on which it is first activated. Reinstallation on the same physical hardware for purposes like disaster recovery is typically permitted. Transferring the license to entirely new hardware is governed by Microsoft's licensing terms, which you should review for your specific scenario.
Does this license work in my country within the EU?
Yes. Your Microsoft Power BI Report Server license is valid for activation and use in all 27 member states of the European Union, providing full operational flexibility across your European operations.
What payment methods does Lizensa accept?
We offer a secure, Stripe-powered checkout that accepts a wide variety of payment methods, including SEPA bank transfers, iDEAL, BLIK, Google Pay, and all major credit and debit cards like Visa and Mastercard.
Will I receive a proper VAT invoice for my business?
Yes, a full and compliant VAT invoice is automatically generated and delivered with every purchase. For eligible B2B transactions, a reverse-charge mechanism is available to simplify your cross-border accounting.
What is your refund policy?
As a customer purchasing from an EU-based company, you are protected by the EU's 14-day right of withdrawal. If you have not yet activated the license, you are eligible for a refund within 14 days of purchase. Please review our full refund policy for details on activated software.
Do I need a separate SQL Server license to use Power BI Report Server?
Yes. Power BI Report Server requires a SQL Server instance to host its report server database. You can use an existing licensed SQL Server or acquire a new one. The edition of SQL Server you need will depend on your performance and scale requirements.
What is the difference between Power BI Report Server and the Power BI cloud service?
The primary difference is data location and management. Power BI Report Server is installed on your own servers, giving you full control over data residency and security. The Power BI cloud service is a fully managed, software-as-a-service offering hosted by Microsoft. Report Server is ideal for on-premises or hybrid scenarios with strict compliance needs.
Can users view reports on their Macs or mobile devices?
Yes. While the server software itself is installed on Windows Server, end-users can access and interact with reports through a modern web browser on any platform, including Windows, macOS, and mobile devices, via the unified web portal.
