Dear All,
I have few queries on SSRS.
Does SQLServer2008 R2 developer edition Supports the SSRS?
Can we update SQLServer 2005 Reporting Services to SQL 2008?
It's quite urgent.
Please advise me.
Thanks and Regards,
Ravichandra.

I am not a licensing expert, but as far as I know, you use one license per installation, meaning if you install the DEV Suite on a server, one license key will suffice.

I would advise you to get a second opinion on the actual cost per server install, with regards to cost per CPU, EA agreements etc..

Developer edition is on a per user basis so you need to ensure that you have enough licences for your users or have volume licensing or each user has an MSDN license.

If you read the documentation on the link I sent, you will see the upgrade procedure and possible issues you might encounter, and how to avoid them.

I dont want to post a step by step, as it might not be applicable to your setup.
