Hi All,
Not _strictly_ a DB engine question but could not find a better home...
I have 3 boxes:
A) 4 Dual core procs
B) 8 Dual core procs.
C) 4 Dual core
Box A will have SSIS, Reporting Services and IIS. (No SQL)
Box B will have only SQL.
Box C will have Analysis services on.
What I want to know is do I have to pay for SQL, 4 procs, for box A when it only has SSIS on it
I pay for SQL, 8 procs, for box B, do I need for the other two servers
Closest I could find is below, which would indicate I have to pay 3 times even though I am not using SQL in two of the cases.

Q. Do I need a separate license to run the SQL Server tools and analysis services
A. No, a separate license is not required. However, any device that has SQL Server tools or technologies installed must have a valid SQL Server license.
Thanks!

Licencing -some clarification.

The feature don’t come as different products. If you install SSIS you install SQL Server, the same for reporting services. You have to buy additional lics for Box A and C.
The qoute from the FAQs indicated just that Analysis Services is not a separate product rather than shipped with SQL Server.
