Licensing and Crystal Reports

Guest

Hi,

I'm just about to finish my windows application program, and i was just
about to start using crystal reports for printing documents, and my friend
told me that if i'm going to use crystal reports in my program it will make
the customers to buy different license for Crystal reports, is that true?

it seems a bit strange, becuase if i write my program in C# my customers
don't have to buy Microsoft .NET license...

Thanks,

IANAL... however it appears that you are able to use what shipped with VS.NET
freely in your apps... it is just a stripped down version (not unlike the
version of Dotfuscator).

If you are adversely affected by the built in limitations, then you should
think about licensing a higher version.

See

and
