Hi,

We want to install SSRS on a separate server to our SQL Clusters and not have SQL installed directly on the host server. Is there a way to get a license key specifically for SSRS?

SQL Server Reporting Services
SQL Server Reporting Services

A SQL Server technology that supports the creation, management, and delivery of both traditional, paper-oriented reports and interactive, web-based reports.

    This seems to be described on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/install-windows/find-reporting-services-product-key-ssrs?view=sql-server-ver15&viewFallbackFrom=sql-server-ver17

    Basically, it is the same product key as for SQL Server. If you install Reporting Services on a machine where you already have an instance of SQL Server, the machine is already licensed for Reporting Service. If you install Reporting Services on a separate machine, that machine also needs to be licensed.

    Note that the product key is not a license. The license is just a piece of paper (or a PDF or similar).
