Crystal Reports

[William LaMartin]

Am I correct in assuming there is no way to move a web project containing
several Crystal Reports created on my development computer using Visual.Net
Studio.Net to a web server unless the hosting company installs the
appropriate Crystal Reports software? In other words, there is not just a
collection of files that I can copy to the web site; it requires an
installation by someone with permissions on the server to run such an
installation?

If the above is true, is Crystal Reports available in any shared hosting
environment, or is it only possible on a dedicated server where you can
install whatever software you want?

At a minimum you'd need to write an install program so you can register your
license key. Once that's done, I believe you can simply copy over the new
project to the web server (I'm not 100% sure but 95%) but in order for
Crystal to run anywhere, desktop or Web, you'll need to include your
registration key in a deployment project.

HTH,

Bill
