<b>1. </b>You can install SSRS and a SQL Server database on different servers. While the default installation tries to install both, you can select to install them separately.<br />
<b><br />
2.</b> In SQL Server 2012, Reporting Services is classified as &quot;Additional Software&quot;. This means that it can be installed on any computer without requiring an extra SQL Server license (much like the Client Tools).<br />

Hi &nbsp;Jason clark &nbsp;- thanks for the early reply.<br />
<br />
would you also have any ideas about the cross database / cross server reporting capabilities of SSRS &nbsp;?<br />
see my question 1
</div>


<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
SSRS &nbsp;- <br />
<br />
I have a couple of questions<br />
&nbsp;1. &nbsp; Remote dbs<br />
can SSRS create and run reports on Cross database and cross sol servers &nbsp;?<br />
The raison is I only want &nbsp; SSRS &nbsp;be implemented on ONLY one &nbsp;SQL sever and access other databases remotely.<br />
If remote database is a possibility can it connect to databases in &nbsp;share point integrated mode. &nbsp;?<br />
2. &nbsp;Licencing<br />
fi installing SQL sever Enterprise - what is the licencing requirement briefly ( &nbsp;If you could brief me rather than me having to read long MS articles would be great )<br />
specially when you are in share point integrated mode.

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is a server-based report generation software system from Microsoft. It can prepare and deliver a variety of interactive and printed reports and is administered via a web interface or its web service. Its web services interface also supports the development of custom reporting applications. Finally, SSRS can also be integrated with SharePoint. SSRS competes with other business intelligence tools, most prominently Crystal Reports.
