Regarding User Licence..

[#1]

Hi There,

I want to know if need any SAP crystal licence in my case.

We use “SAP Crystal Report 2020 Support Pack 4 Patch 12 (CR Developer)” licenced version to design RPT files and formulate them to to generate/save reports in TXT file.

A C# desktop application use “SAP Crystal Report Runtime Engine For .NET Framework (32 bit)”, installed on same machine where C# application running, to load Crystal Reference Libraries at runtime to load RPT files and save report locally in TXT format. This C# application perform all database related stuff to fetch data to feed RPT files and save report in TXT file. All database related stuff is done in this C# application only.

Now three following things needs to be delivered to customer to generate report:

• RPT files designed with licensed Crystal2020
• C# application which loads RPT at runtime and feed data.
• SAP Crystal Report Runtime Engine For .NET Framework (32 bit)

Customer want to use VDI (mstsc) to install all above three locally in virtual machine and generate/save report locally in virtual machine.

Now I want to know if we need “SAP Crystal Report Runtime Engine For .NET Framework (32 bit)” licence or any other SAP licence for this case?

Please help me out.

Thanks

Here is a link to CR's Licensing Info:

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio Licensing

In short If it's an internal application then one copy of CR Designer is needed, which you likely already own. If it's a sellable product then each install must purchase a copy of Crystal Reports Designer.

YOu can use a Silent Install of CRD, search the Help file on how to create an INI file to manage this step.

You can download the MSI packages to distribute the .NET runtime

Always use the latest SP for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio, must recompile the app after you install the latest SP.

ALSO NOTE: As of this year SAP is no longer building a 32 but runtime package, it's 64 bit but only so you should start looking into upgrading your project to 64 bit.
