Hi Patrik,

Have a look at this page for CR Server:

https://www.sap.com/products/technology-platform/crystal-server.html

Your summary is about right for CRS, you can use the CRS .NET SDK, different from the CR for VS .NET runtime.

You can use URL reporting, CRS generates the link to the Reports, scheduled or refreshable etc.

WIKI has a link to the licensing of the runtime:

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio Licensing

Depends on how you use it, internal it's free, external it requires the user to purchase a copy of Crystal Reports Designer.

The other thing is when you purchase CRS you get access to Paid Support for a year, included with the purchase.

If this is the only SAP software that you're running, it's a one-time charge. If you're running other SAP software, you can purchase directly from SAP and have it included in your maintenance contract. Unlike Crystal XI and older versions, Crystal 2020 does not include any runtime or development environment.

To develop an application that uses Crystal, go to the Crystal SDK wiki to access the .NET or Java SDK downloads, sample code, etc. If you're developing reports for use within your company, there is no additional license requirement to deploy your application. If you're developing reports for external use, there are some licensing requirements - the information can be found in the sub-pages of the wiki.

Hi Dell,

So, the only licenses I need is:

1. SAP Crystal Reports 2020. For one concurrent user. Price $495

2. Visual Studio Professional 2022 for development and create runtime

SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio is free

When do you need to use Crystal Reports Server, only when need for Report scheduling, Report scheduling, Management of large viewership and Recurring generation of reports?
