Trial version 1

[samson123]

I have developed reports using trial version of CR XI. Will the report functionality stop working at my client's place where I have deployed after 30 days ?

I suspect you have already broken the terms of your trial license, by distributing a report. I am amazed that the report works on a different machine, frankly.
Does your client have a full copy of CR installed?

I am trying to understand the licensing...

1) I will have to buy one license for designing/creating the reports ? - - $x

2) I am going to integrate it with a VB application. If I have to use Report Creation API then I will have to buy a copy of Crystal Reports Developer Edition for each company we redistribute the application to.. $y per client.

SO total Cost $ x + $y per client

Is it how it works ?

There is no difference between the rpt files created with the trial version and those created with the full version. Obviously, you should get a full license.

Your items #1 & #2 above are correct.

is typically the cheapest option for purchasing Crystal licenses.

To summarize...

If I purchase one developer license for creating reports and decide NOT TO use the report creation APIs...Then I can redistribute the application to any number of third parties without pay anything extra...

Correct.
