Crystal Report Licensing Requirements

[Wizard699]

I have a few reports (5) that I have created using my Crystal Reports Design enviroment. I want to place them on a server at work and have it email 8 different people using a program called Easy View. Do I need to purchase any other licensing from Crystal to do this?

Thanks!
Chris

If you are using Crystal Reports v8.5 or v9, and if you plan to distribute to more than 50 people on a regular basis, then there is a remote chance that you could be required to get a "Broadcast License". There is some vague wording in the licenses for these 2 versions but it is hard to imagine them enforcing it today. In later versions, Crystal Decisions decided that there was no way to define the broadcast license requirements that didn't sound like a rip-off, so they dropped the wording when v10 was released.

So you should be fine.
