I would like even more clarification, if I may, on this document: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70bd6328-4128-2d10-7882-d7b95418dbaa?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&50676319570534, found in this link: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-21575
Beginning with Page 5 and Application Redistribution. I believe we will need to support both Client Applications and Server Applications.
We will write our reports in the Crystal Designer and distribute these reports to our customers.
We will create a Windows app (exe) created in VB.NET using the SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio developer. It will use the the Crystal Reports methods and properties to render the report for our customers. Depending on the customer, the Crystal runtime may be installed on a client machine or on a Terminal Server.
Based on the above document, it sounds like we will have a combination of both Client Application and Server Application.
It also sounds like for customers with a Client Application, there is no licensing required. But, for the customers with a Server Application there will be licensing required.
What I am trying to determine is if we will need a runtime license for the Server Application? And, if so, do we need to purchase the SAP Crystal Reports runtime server license (formerly Crystal Reports Developer Advantage) or an OEM contract?
Can someone please clarify and let me know prices?
Thank you.
