Crystal Reports 9 license error after deploying to client

[oneilltnc]

I am trying to upgrade all of my Crystal 8.5 reports to Crystal 9.0 developer. I use VB 6.0 for the front-end and SQL Server 2000 for the database. The reports connect through and ODBC datasource. The problem that I am having is when I go to write an install package in WISE Installer. After I run the install on the client machine I run the .exe and as soon as I try to preview a report I receive a message saying that I do not have the appropriate license to view this report. I am using the CRViewer9 to view these reports and also the CRAXDRT9. I have included all the appropriate dll's, but I still keep getting this message. One thing I have not done is include the 19 digit Report Creation API license key. Do I need to add this into the install package or can I add it into the VB code when I set the application object? Is this license keycode necessary for the reports to work properly on the client machine? I know I didn't have to do any of this when deploying Crystal Reports 8.5

I use InstallShield 8.0 developer. I included the merge module license.msm and open it's properties window and enter the registration number there. If you haven't already, you may want to download the latest merge modules, they were just update at the end of Jan.

Hope this helps.
