Reporting Services Designer Install/Product Key

We installed reporting services on our MS SBS Premium server. The
installation was fine, except that the machine doesn't have Visual Studio
tools. No worries-- since we plan to develop reports on client machines with
VS.
That's where the problem is: we can't install the RS designer on the client
machines with VS 2003. When we get to the product key page, we enter in the
same key that worked for the SBS-P machine, but no love. Message: "This is
an invalid Product Key value. Please check the number located on your Product
Key sticker." The number we enter is the same as both the sticker on the
server case and the reg key on the server.
What do I need to do to install the designer for VS?Anyone have a possible solution to the product key problem with Small
Business Server 2003 Premium?
