I am trying to setup SSRS 2012 in Integrated Mode so that I can attach my SharePoint to it. The issue that I am having is that it seems like Microsoft removed integrated mode and switch to using SharePoint Application Services instead which means I will now have to purchase full SQL Server licenses for my web servers instead of having one central SQL Server.
With SQL Server 2008 R2 I could simply create a new names instance of SSRS on my SQL Server (which I am licensed using the server model so I can have unlimited instances running on that server) and then in SharePoint I would simply connect it. Therefor SSRS and SQL Engine ran on one server and SharePoint ran on another server.
How do I achieve similar results with SharePoint 2010 and SSRS 2012? It seems to me like I am forced to install SSRS on my Web Servers which is a huge waste of money.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
Thanks!
