reporting services on vista

Luckily I still have my old XP PC which has SS Reporting Services installed because my new PC w/Vista Home Premium does not have the Windows Authentication feature needed to install SSRS.

Does anyone know if there is an upgrade for Vista Premium to Business? I'd much rather learn SSRS on my faster PC.

Thanks.

Hi,

Upgrade really refers to moving from one version to a newer version, i.e. XP to Vista. I've never seen an "upgrade" license to move between editions of the same product as you're seeking. About the best that I could suggest is that you can buy an Upgrade from XP to Vista Business, although I'm not sure how Vista validates your copy of XP, it might require that you have XP installed on the system where you're installing Vista.

You would really need to talk to the Windows folks for more specific information, you can start here to find the right place to contact.

Mike
