how to share reports with PowerBi premium P1 with report Server, without Pro PBI

My company has bought a PowerBi premium P1 with report Server, but still we are not able to open shared reports without Pro. I have tried using Power bi App to open the shared reports but is asking to get the pro licences. We all are on same mail domain, using same SQl data base(2014) and all have access to SQl data. Please suggest a solution for it.
