Download/Install SQL RS 2005 Alone--not the whole chunk of SQL2005

Hey all,
Is there anywhere that I could download trial version of SQL 2005 Reporting
services alone...not the whole junk of SQL Server 2005. I need just the
Reporting services. another question is I have SQL 2005 Developer Edition
CTP(community tchnology preview) DVD and I am looking at a way to upgrade
only reporting services from 2000 to 2005.But the set up wont let me do just
that. It insists that I upgrade the server also. Please let me know!!!Hi,
You can only download the complete package of SQL Server 2005 and I believe
it will be by its release. Reporting Service 2005 is a part of SQL Server
2005. Compare it to the Analysis Server part: you can't download it seperate
from the SQL Server part.
For your upgrading problem: Maybe it is a 'feature' of the CTP install,
haven't tried it this way. But you could try to install the SQL Server 2005
at a new instance and make SRS to install/upgrade at the instance of the 2000
version.
Hope this would help you.

Download Reporting Services for SQL 2000?

We have license for SQL 2000 but all I can find on the Microsoft download
page was the 120-days trial for Reporting Service and SP1, SP2.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=BA517C01-2E2F-4BC7-84AF-149B7637F807&displaylang=en#instructions
Is there a place to download the release version instead of the 120 days
trial?
Thanks!
AlbertAlbert,
See
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/reporting/howtobuy/default.mspx#XSLTsection132121120120
for the information you need.
As far as I am aware there is no download option for a non-time
limited version of RS2000.

MSDN Subscriber downloads. It's stored under Server -> SQL Server -> SQL
Server 2000 -> SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services. You can also download SP
1 and 2 from the same place.
It might depend on what subscription level you are on, but if your company
is a subscriber, check it out.
