Power BI Pro - running existing SSRS reports

[Markzolotoy]

I have a number of SSRS reports. I am looking for a solution to run these reports of the cloud. I am told that customers will have to buy a Premium license in order to run repors from the cloud. Since there is no trial version for Premium is it possible to use a Pro license or anything else to give the technology a try and see how would everything be working?

Thanks

hi @Markzolotoy - Unfortunately there is no trial version per say of Power BI paginated reports - you can download and install the Power BI report builder tool and try and see if you are able to open the rdl files. 

You will not be able to publish these report files to Power BI service unless you have a premium licence 

You can refer to the below documentation for migration of SSRS reports to Power BI

Please mark the post as a solution and provide a 👍 if my comment helped with solving your issue. Thanks!

There is a change in licensing coming that you might be interested in. My understanding is you can do premium on a per user basis and no longer need to buy a full capacity. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/answering-your-questions-around-the-new-power-bi-premium-pe...
