Lisensing to crystal report 1

[ahhuang]

I have packaged up my program into setup.exe with necessary crystal report's ocx and dll.

My concern is tat I will not install any crystal report editing software into the client.

Does my client still need to buy any crystal report lisense in this case when only my installed program runs crystal report for report display?

Where can I get more information about crystal report lisensing?
Thank you

There is some information within Thread782-121449. If you need further clarification it might be easier just to enquire from Crystal Decisions.

i appreciate tat Reebo99 has provided me a link for my question.
however if i m just installing on a standalone pc, no multiple access, no network?
do i still need to obtain a lisense?

If you are using the OCX control in your application you will be fine. This is free runtime. Hint -- if you were using something that required additional licensing (from a coding/runtime standpoint) there would be a dialog that would pop up telling you so when you compile your application.

Since you are installing 'standalone', you should be fine. If your application schedules or exports to more than 50 recipients, you may be cautious of the infamous CBL. Crystal Broadcast License (see related thread in this forum).

With the OCX you will not be installing any 'editing' ability to the client. You should also run through the runtime.hlp file for a listing of what files you should have in your deployment.
