Did MS change RS licensing in 2005?

Hi,
With SQL Server 2000 and Reporting Services, I'd have to have an additional
SQL Server license if I wanted to run Reporting Services on a server other
the database server. I don't want to run Reporting Services on the same
machine as SQL Server as I'm not so crazy about running IIS and SQL Server on
the same machine.
My question is did MS change licensing for Reporting Services in the new
version that will be released w/ SQL Server 2005? Or will I still need an
additional license for Reporting Services if I wanted to run it on a
different machine?

Thanks,
SamAs far as I know this has not changed.

Developer edition performance

Hi,
Is the developer edition of SQL Server 2000 *exactly* the same as the
enterprise edition - just without the production license?
It is mainly the performance aspect I am interested in. Standard edition is
limited to a low number of concurrent users & worker processes - is this
true with the deve edition.
Thanks in advance,

Yes.

Who told you that? SE is not limited in concurrent users etc, it lacks a few features that EE has,
like failover clustering, using lots of memory, some parallelization etc.

limitations, not the standard edition... The limitation is not the number of
concurrent users, but limited in the number of worker threads. This prevents
you from using the dev or personal edition as a ig production server,
because performance will not be acceptable...
