The answer is maybe. You need to speak with a Crystal Decisions for a definitive answer because there are a number of variables, including the type of licensing you currently have. Since you're using Crystal Enterprise, you may need to purchase a Report Distribution License rather than a Crystal Broadcast License.
Following is an email I received from my account exect at Crystal:[ul][/li]Crystal Enterprise Report Distribution License
This optional license applies if a customer wishes to distribute reports in any format, outside of the Crystal Enterprise system. To broadcast reports, customers can use the Schedule to Destinations functionality in Crystal Enterprise 8.5 or 9, to run a report and deliver it to a specific destination, such as an e-mail server, network folder or an ftp site.
[ul][li]In a Named User environment, this license applies when reports are sent to customers who do not have Named User licenses.[/li]
[li]In a CAL environment, this license applies when the total number of people who receive reports exceeds 10x the number of CAL purchased.[/li]
[li]In a Processor Environment the RDL must be purchased if customers would like to broadcast reports using the schedule to destinations feature.[/li][/ul]
This license costs $45,000 US for unlimited broadcasting rights for a particular version of product. It is a perpetual fee, not annual, and can have maintenance sold on it. Maintenance would allow the customer to broadcast reports using any new upgrades of the product that may release within a 12 month period. The other key advantage of maintenance is that it protects the customer from future price increases for this license.
If you are not using the Crystal Enterprise Print Engine and instead the Crystal Reports Print Engine, then you would using the Crystal Broadcast License.
Annual fee - $25 K
Perpetual fee - $100K[/li][/ul]Ken Hamady is one of the posters most familiar with this issue. He has corresponded with Crystal Decisions multiple times over the years in an effort to clarify the licensing requirements. Perhaps he can share some additional information?
