  Hi,

  I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this.

  We have an SSRS 2012 instance and some of our users use Report Builder v3 to build reports and alike, however some of the users prefer the old version 1 of Report Builder. I managed to get both working side by side on our development server (Developer Edition) however when I tried it on our production server (BI Edition) it wouldn't work.

  It throw an error that the edition was unknown, this kind of made sense as Report Builder 1 was for SQL 2005 and it didn't have BI edition so if it checked the version it wouldn't understand it.

  So then I tried changing our UAT server from developer edition to enterprise edition, that after all existed in 2005 so in theory its edition would be recognised, it wasn't though as now we have Enterprise Server Core edition and alike.

  Anyway to the question, does anyone know of any way that I can get Report Build v1 and v3 side by side without running developer edition in production?

  Thanks,

  Nic
