Downgrading 2k8 and 2k8 R2 Enterprise to Standard

    So the folks I replaced at my new job had installed Enterprise Edition EVERYWHERE. Well, we can't afford all those licenses, so I am in the process of downgrading the majority of them to Standard.

    I created a nice test VM for this effort and was successful downgrading the SQL Engine and SSIS, by basically uninstalling and reinstalling, but I am not finding a lot of advice for SSRS and SSAS for this process.

    What is the basic process to ensure I have a nice stable replacement for SSAS and SSRS in the new installation using the old instance names?

    Ok for SSRS looks like I could take the approach of moving them to a new instance, by copying off the reportserver* db's and then restoring them after reinstall. I did this with MSDB for the packages.

    I'm guessing the cubes would be the same way, since this will be like a new machine, even tho its the old machine.
