    Hi Sérgio,

    Welcome to the Q&A Forum; this is a great place to get support, answers, and tips.

    Thank you for posting your question; I'll be more than glad to help you out.

    It depends on the version and edition.

    If you install just a SQL Server Reporting Service (formerly known as SSRS), you might use the same product key as for your installation.

    Re-run the setup process of your SQL Server and copy the product key into the SSRS installation process.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/install-windows/find-reporting-services-product-key-ssrs?view=sql-server-ver16

    If you are installing the PowerBI Report server, this might not work, as this needs an Enterprise license key.

    I hope my answer is helpful to you,

    Your
