    Yes It does require license

    Read Multiplexing:

    "The number of tiers of hardware or software between the SQL Server and the user or devices that ultimately use its data, services, or functionality does

    not affect the number of CALs required:"

    Only when some one manualy forwards the emaill containing the report, Then its not required

    That may be true, however I have seen different interpretations of this. Nevertheless, I am not an expert and cannot say for certain. My "interpretaion" based on Microsoft's example is different from yours. Their examples continue to show user1 (requires a CAL) accessing data and then emailing it to user2 (no CAL required). They do NOT ever mention the server emailing it directly to someone. My interpretation is that the server itself is doing the emailing and is acting as user1 who then emails a report to user2 (who does not require a CAL). Again, interpretation best left to people who can argue it in front of a judge.
