Reporting Services Licencing

I've just tried installing Reporting Services, and it is asking about
licencing; from what I understood, it used the existing licences for SQL
Server 2000.
So why does it ask what licences are held?
More importantly, how can you find out what an individual server is licenced
for? [ie. rather than chase paperwork, is there a way of telling from the
server how many licences are held?]
Cheers

If not, you use the key from a licesnsed SQL Server distribution.

On my development machine, it didnt ask for a Licence Key, but it did ask
how many licences and of which type (eg. 5 user CALs)... The defaults for
this machine were both 0.
The SQL Server on this machine is an MSDN version, so I've no idea how many
CALs and of which type...
Does it matter what I enter here?

Reporting Services in Developer?

I understood that the developer edition had everything (component-wise) in it that Enterprise did, but my SQL2005 Developer installation had the Report Services checkbox greyed out on the initial install dialog, and they don't appear to be available.

Are Report Services not available in Developer Edition? If not, what's a lonely developer to do that wants to learn and/or play with Report Services? :)

Thanks.
Make sure IIS is installed on the box.|||

I'm assuming that you are using RS 2000. If so then there should have been a warning screen that told you why RS could not be installed.

|||My apologies, I should have said, but I'm not sure why you would assume that since I'm installing SQL2005. No, I'm talking about RS2005. There was no warning screen, etc. on the SQL2005 install, the RS2005 checkbox was just greyed out on the initial dialog and could not be checked. I suspect it's the missing IIS the previous poster mentioned, but I can't confirm that until tomorrow.

Does RS2005 require IIS6 (not available on XP Pro), or will it run on IIS5.1?

Thanks.

IIS5 should be OK

In 2005 setup there is a configuration report that is run. If IIS was not installed then this report should have given you a warning stating that RS could not be installed.
