Is "Lite" Crystal Reports Server still bundled?

[twoeyes]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out if an entry level Crystal Reports Server (I assume that's what Crystal Enterprise morphed into?) license is still bundled with Crystal Reports.

I have one client with CR 10 Professional who is happily using the basic CE software.

I'm taking on a new client with similar reporting needs, but I can't figure out what to recommend now that Crystal Decisions has been bought out twice now.

Full Crystal Server, with it's 2K+ list price on SAP's site is out of the question.

I'm strongly considering Microsoft SSRS...

Thanks!

I believe there is still a 5 concurrent user version of Crystal Server that comes with the Developer version of Crystal.

CE was actually replaced by the a couple of things depending on the installation size - there is a version called Crystal Enterprise that is a "lite" version of the full Business Objects Enterprise. Crystal Server is somewhat different, but similar to the old CE.

A computer only does what you actually told it to do - not what you thought you told it to do.

Thanks Hilfy.

I still can't find a reference to a 5 concurrent user license in the docs on the SAP site.

I'm have a feeling SAP isn't going to care about CR as a standalone product over the long term...
