Report Builder license when deployed on CITRIX
Would a SQL 2008 Standard Edition - processor license cover the deployment of Report Builder 2.0 on a CITRIX server or would additional license be required? I appreciate any guidance that you may provide. LanaHill

Not too sure what exactly you mean by ReportBuilder License.

Many thanks, Chaitanya, for your prompt response. The question stems from the fact that the EULA agreement for Report Builder 2.0 stipulates that a valid SQL license is needed to use the product. Looking back to the SQL 2008 licensing model, I've learned that if we own a per-processor license for SQL server, we are entitled to support n number of users. As Citrix is viewed as a 'multi-tenent' envrionment, I need to confirm that no additional licensing is needed and that I am covered by the current SQL license that I have. Your thoughts are appreciated.LanaHill
