I am supposedly covered for an on-prem install of Power BI Report Server given that I have SQL Server 2016 Enterprise Core Edition (upgraded from SQL Server 2014 with Software Assurance) and a Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise subscription for my development of the reports. However, I am now installing PBIRS into my SQL 2016 instance and it is asking for a product key. SQL Server's product key did not work.
A post was just added today (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-admin-premium-manage/) that shows a Report Server Key button in the online Power BI Premium service which is not even available yet according to the post.
My question is, how do I get the Report Server Key I need for an on-prem only installation when I am not going to be separately purchasing the Power BI Premium service?

Yup, that's where you should find it. One would expect to find it on the Key tab, but since SQL Server doesn't use the Key tab (the SQL Server key is baked into the SQL Server download), it ends up on the Download tab under "Special Instructions."
