Reporting services install question

I know ReportServer is a SQL Server service. Do I need SQL Server on the IIS
/ Report Server machine. What if I don't want to use a local SQL Server, but
I want to use a standalone SQL Server.
frankmReportServer is an asp.net application. It requires SQL Server as an object
store. SQL Server can be either on the same machine, on a different machine
or on a different machine shared by multiple Report Servers (web farm). Note
that for licensing you need to have a SQL Server license for the machine
Report Server is installed on regardless of whether SQL Server Database is
installed on it.

That's what I needed to know. I can install RptSvc without having SQL Server
on the same machine. Just as long as I have a SQL Server somewhere for the
store.

On the IIS server where RS will be installed, does SQL Server have to be
installed, or is there a way to just input the license number. Like most, we
run our SQL Server on a separate box than our IIS server. I do not want to
install SQL Server on the IIS box unless absolutely necessary.
Thanks
