Choosing a Licensing Mode

Hello, all. We have a question as to the licensing mode of Reporting
Services for SQL Server 2K. We wish to install according to the following
scheme,
- Report Server: on our web server (ws1)
- Report Manager: on our web server (ws1)
- Report Server Database: on our SQL Server db (sql1)
- Report Designer: on our workstations
Reading what is on this page
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/deploy/rsdepgd.mspx,
it says that "You must have a valid SQL Server license for each computer
that has a SQL Server 2000 component (such as Reporting Services) installed.
For example, the computer running Reporting Services requires a SQL Server
license. If the report server database is located remotely, a separate
license is required for the remote computer running SQL Server."
Does this mean that we must have a separate SQL Server license for our ws1
machine to be able to run Report Server and Report Manager than the license
we have on our sql1 machine? Thanks in advance :-)The following is general guidance, I'm not an expert on licensing so what I
say definitely does not 'go'. I recommend you speak with your TAM/Sales rep
to ensure you're correctly licensed based on your deployment, hardware, etc.
In general, you need a SQL licence for each computer on which you deploy
server components. Thus, if you deploy report server on computer A and your
SQL engine is on computer B, you need to have a SQL licence for of A and
another for B, totalling 2 processor licenses.
Thyen if you have multi-proc machines, it gets interesting. Speak with
your TAM/Sales rep.
