Reporting Services Question

I have an associate who needs Reporting Services 2005 installed. They do not
have a Visual Studio 2005 license of any kind. Does this normally go on a
desktop and if so, what is the minimum license required to remain compliant?
THANK YOU in advance!If you are talking about developing reports, no license is required for
that. The server where the reports are being deployed need a license. Also,
RS 2005 comes with its own version of VS so unless you are writing custom
assemblies you do not need to purchase VS 2005.

maintaining compliance and it would be nice to be able to use SMS and at a
glance know if the install of Visual Studio is a full-blown license or
derived from a license such RS 2005.

can only host the BI tools. If you have VS 2005 it will integrate with that
instead. That is how I am running.
