SSRS License

  • Per my understanding SQL Server Report Manager is embedded in the Report Server service and cannot be installed by itself. If I want to run Report Manager and Reporting Server on two different physical servers, how may SQL Server licenses that I need to procure (i.e. is it 1 or 2)?

    Thanks!

  • sounds like you only need one.

    you need a license to run SQL Server Reporting Services.

    the mangement of the reports (or the creating / authoring of them) can occur anywhere BIDS is installed.

    of course, where the Report Server and Report Server TempDB live need a SQL Server Database license too. but they can be on the same server with just 1 license.

  • you will need two sets of licences, as you need to licence the machines which run the services and as you will have two boxes with a SSRS service thats 2.

    if your in doubt with any licensing I would always recommend to contact your reseller who can get the information direct from Microsoft. When it comes to something as strict as licences always the best bet.

  • Thanks for your suggestion. Understanding Microsoft licensing is always a top task for me.
