Report Server Database Server Edition Requirements

When creating a report server database, not all editions of SQL Server can be used to host the database. The following table shows you
which editions of the Database Engine you can use for specific editions of Reporting Services.

For this edition of SQL Server Reporting Services

Use this edition of the Database Engine instance to host the database

Business Intelligence Clients

The following software client applications are available on the Microsoft Download center and are provided to assist you with creating
business intelligence documents that run on a SQL Server instance. When you host these documents in a server environment, use an
edition of SQL Server that supports that document type. The following table identifies which SQL Server edition contains the server
features required to host the documents created in these client applications.

Note

1. Power Pivot for Excel is an Excel addin for creating workbooks with a data model. Power Pivot for Excel does not depend on
SQL Server, but Power Pivot for SharePoint is required for sharing and collaborating on Excel workbooks with a data model in
SharePoint. This capability is available as part of SQL Server Enterprise edition.
In Excel 2016, Power Pivot capability is built in, so you no longer need the Power Pivot addin.
2. The above table identifies the SQL Server editions that are required to enable these client tools; however these tools can
access data hosted on any edition of SQL Server.
3. SQL Server Mobile Report Publisher is the single point for creation of mobile reports. Connect to a Reporting Services server
to access data sources and create reports. Then publish them to the Reporting Services server for others in the organization
to access, either on the server or on mobile devices. You can also use SQL Server Mobile Report Publisher stand alone with
local data sources
4. Whether you are using SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services SSRS onpremises, Power BI in the cloud, or both as your report
delivery solution you only need one mobile app to access dashboards and mobile reports on mobile devices. The Power BI
apps are available for download from the Windows, iOS, or Android app stores.
