I have a couple of questions about the SQL server licensing.
I see on microsoft site FAQ:
1.
Q. Do I need a separate license to run the SQL Server tools and analysis services?
A. No, a separate license is not required. However, any device that has SQL Server tools or technologies installed must have a valid SQL Server license.
My question of above is can we install a client tool for example SSMS on a client computer does it need license, also not sure if we install analysis service on another computer,does it need a license?
2. We usually install SQL server database engine and SSIS service on a server, then install Reporting service on another server.
So does the reporting service on the other machine need a license?
Thanks

1. For the tools, you don't need a new license, for things like the analysis services SERVER you would very likely another license.
2. They are covered under a single license IF they are installed on the same box, but if you install a part of the server components (DB Engine, SSRS, SSIS, or SSAS) on another box they are not covered under that same license.
