Does Analysis Services 2000 come under the same license as SQL Server 2000?

Is there a difference between Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition?

Thanks.

There is no separate license for Analysis Services. Analysis Services is
licensed as part of (a component of) SQL Server. If you have a license for
SQL Server for a particular machine, you can install one or more of the
components of SQL Server on that machine, i.e. the RDBMS, Analysis Services,
Reporting Services, etc. How many components you install is up to you. You
have the right to run one component or several or all of them on that
machine.

So if you want to run all of the components on one machine then you only
need one license of SQL Server. If you want to run each component on a
different machines, i.e. have one machine dedicated to the RDBMS; one
machine dedicated to Analysis Services; one machine dedicated to Reporting
Services, then you must have a separate license for each machine (3 licenses
in this example).

If you have a Standard Edition license then you can use the Standard Edition
features on that machine; if you have an Enterprise Edition license then you
can use Enterprise Edition features on that machine. You can mix and match
editions between machines if you don't need all of the capabilities across
machines.

There are additional Analysis Services features included in Enterprise
Edition, such as http access, partitioning, and several others. See BOL if
you need the specific features. Look at the topic: "Features Supported by
the Editions of SQL Server 2000" or the following resources:

Hope that helps.
