sql server reporting services : RS2005 Report Distribution + License
I understand the licensing part where installing the on the same server is
free and if you move RS to another box a license is required. 1. Is it recommended to separate the DB from RS? I assume it will depend on the report load but for now I can say only RS, DB, and IIS would be on the box. 2. Are there any costs for delivering (emailing) reports to external customers or having external users view and download reports through the web? Also, does anyone know if Crystal Reports Server XI has a fee for this? I am trying to compare the costs for each.
Do you have link for that or are you referring to a processor license opposed

No costs for emailing.
Have external users view it, then you need to check out the SQL Server licensing for internet use. I know that licensing is different than for an intranet. -- Bruce Loehle-Conger MVP SQL Server Reporting Services [quoted text, click to view] "mc" <mc@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:52FFEB45-5674-4383-870B-E36FCA5812A9@microsoft.com... >I understand the licensing part where installing the on the same server is > free and if you move RS to another box a license is required. > > 1.

Do you know the price associated with a processor license?

Thanks for the help Bruce.
On a side note, could you provide any feedback to these questions 1) Is it possible to create a report template containing text that would be evaluated at runtime by a sql query? For example, the text in my reports need to cater to various languages so report template would be generic. Can I configure text (textboxes) to do a lookup at runtime? 2) How flexible are the graphing capabilities? Can a third party package be used to create graphs as long as the rdl file is constructed properly? I interested in how dynamic you can make the values on the graph. 3) Does RS provide a good audit mechanism for logging and tracking reports?

Right, the processor license for use of SQL Server over the internet. RS
licensing is SQL Server licensing. Wherever RS is installed you have to have the exact same license as if you had a SQL Server DB on the box. -- Bruce Loehle-Conger MVP SQL Server Reporting Services [quoted text, click to view] "mc" <mc@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7CD2D763-A49F-48AC-A88D-FF33402FA179@microsoft.com... > Do you have link for that or are you referring to a processor license > opposed > to user and device cal's > > Thanks for the response > > > > "Bruce L-C [MVP]" wrote: > >> No costs for emailing. >> >> Have external users view it, then you need to check out the SQL Server >> licensing for internet use.

No. I just know the theory. I know that a per processor used on an intranet
is different than per process for intranet. -- Bruce Loehle-Conger MVP SQL Server Reporting Services [quoted text, click to view] "mc" <mc@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7BCCB8E9-EC69-4A24-9EB7-26FEA1F9BA29@microsoft.com... > Do you know the price associated with a processor license? > > > > "Bruce L-C [MVP]" wrote: > >> Right, the processor license for use of SQL Server over the internet.
