Two issues here. One is how to get the non-trial media. With RS 2000 since
it was released on a different schedule you have to get the media
separately. I don't really have an answer for that. For RS 2005 it comes
with the SQL Server 2005 media.
An important thing to note, as far as licensing is concerned you are
licensing SQL Server. You are not licensing or buying RS separately. RS is
part of SQL Server.
If you are just getting into RS then I strongly recommend using RS 2005.
Lots of new features (end user sorting, multi-select parameters, date
picker, etc) AND it is substantially faster.
