Can someone tell me if Visual Studio 2005 is required by SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition (32-bit)? And if so, is it covered under the SS2K5 licensing? We're doing some cleanup on installed software and making sure that we are compliant.
Thanks for your help.

What you might be seeing is the Business Intelligence Design Studio (BIDS), which is basically all the tools needed to create SSIS packages and SSAS cubes and is run through the Visual Studio environment. If that's what you have, then yes, it's part of SQL Server and covered under that license. This is not a requirement for SQL Server itself, but it is for any of the BIDS tools.
If, on the other hand, you're looking at C#, VB, whatever, then no, this is not covered by your SQL Server license.

Grant is spot on. He has covered both ends of the issue.
