Reporting Services 2005 as standalone?

Does anyone know if it's possible to get Reporting Services 2005 as a standalone installation (without having to purchase a full license of Sql Server 2005)?
Or do you get RS2005 with Sql Server 2005 Express?

Thanks!

Reporting Services requires a SQL server to connect to. Express in not supported as a catalog sku. You only need one license if you run Report Server and SQL server on the same box.

What is not clear to me is how to purchase Reporting Services to use with an Oracle SQL Server. Reporting Services adds value to us, but SQL Server does not (we have a Enterprise wide licensing arrangement for Oracle which makes SQL Server not worth considering for purchase).

I assume we would need to purchase a single SQL Server license to obtain Reporting Services, would I be correct in assuming since only Reporting Services will be used there is no need to purchase any CALs?

Reporting Service and SQL Server Express

I can see there is option to Reporting Service when installing SQL Server Express. However, I have heard Reporting Service come with the license of SQL Server. So, can I use Reporting Service with the free-of-charge SQL Server Express?Yes, seems that you downloaded the Advanced Services edition. This includes the Reporting Services engine, with the restritction only to render data from local databases. But you are free to use and restribute it along with your solutions built on top of that.

Also, is that legal to install and use the lastest Reporting Service(version 2005, right?) on server with SQL Server 2000?

Thanks again.

|||Its legal to install SQL Server Express on any Server, but I don′t know if you will be able to consume the data from the SQL Server 2k as the limitation on the site states "Local Server only" which is I assume is only SQL Server Express.
