Hi, RS2000 was a separate from SQLServer2000 and a free download, only
requirement being you must have a SQLServer 2000 lic. For RS 2005 it looks
like its bundled up with SQLServer 2005. Must I purchase SQLServer 2005 in
order to upgrade to RS 2005, we don't wish to upgrade from SQL2000 just
Reporting Services. In there not a separate download and Licence for RS2005.

Thanks

RS 2005 is part of SQL Server 2005. Nothing has changed. RS 2000 was part
(from a licensing perspective) of SQL Server 2000. The only reason it had a
separate download/CD was because it was released later. You can leave the DB
at 2000 and install RS 2005 but you must have a SQL Server 2005 license.

Bruce,

Since we would like to do the same change (keep SQL2000 and upgrade from
RS2000 to RS2005), is only (1) one SQL2005 license necessary since we already
have licenses for SQL2000?

Thanks in advance

Is your RS on the same box as SQL Server 2000 Database?

Bruce, I am like Jack. I own SQL2000 and use RS2000 but would like to
upgrade to RS2005 without purchasing SQL2005. But it looks like I have to.
Next question is, I only have one server, RS is on the same box as SQL Server
database and I own SQL Server2000 Standard Edition-1 Processor License.
Would I have to purchase the SQL2005 that costs about $5k or is there a
cheaper version I could purchase that would give me rights to use RS2005 on
this machine? Thanks for your help. Jerry
