Hi,
We have a license for Crystal Report XI. However we need Crystal Reports Release 2 since we are using .Net 2.0. I just tried installing the Crystal Reports Server on out test web server and it would not accept the license key we have. Do we need to get a new key?

Reg: License for Crystal report redistributable

Hi....
I am Working on Asp.Net Crystal reports, I had deployed the application on client side,is it necessary to get license for crystal report redistributable at client side(not at developer side)?. If so how to get license and what is the cost for getting license any idea....

You will need to talk to sales about specifics as it all depends on what version of the product you are using.
Typically if you are using a stand alone version either the customer would need to have a licensed copy of CR or you will need to have purchased the [Developer Advantage|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting-dashboarding/reporting/developeradvantage/index.epx]

License for Crystal Report for Visual Studion 2005

Hi All,
I am developing reports for my application using crystal reports for VS 2005. I read on microsoft site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318102 ) that the free server software supports three active requests to the server. It further says that developer will need to purchase additional licenses to increase scalability. I think that our application would need the additional license. However, i was unable to find a link on business objects site were i can buy the additional license for crystal report for VS 2005. The link takes me to license for Crystal report 2008. It would be great if you can answer my following questions:
- what version of crystal reports do we need to purchase?
- do we need license for each implementation or do we need license for the developers only.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Abdul

Great questions! Let's get at em, one at a time:
How would you define a print job?
- A print job will essentially be consumed any time the print engine (crpe32.dll) needs to do work. So, processing one report = a print job. However, say you have one subreport, now the number of print jobs = 2. Now, say the subreport is in the details section and runs once per record. And you have 100 records. You will be running 1 + 100 print jobs. Paging to another page consumes a print job. Zooming consumes a print job, exporting and printing to a printer consumes a print job. So, depending on the report and the number of users, print jobs may be used up quite quickly. You can increase the print job limit by modifying the PrintJobLimit in the registry. For CR 2008, the reg entry is here:
HKLMsoftware usiness objectssuite 12.0
eport application serverinprocserver
(the above is used irrespective of the SDK (CR, RAS, BOE))
I am not using report viewer to render the report. I use 'ExportToDisk' method to save the report in word or pdf format. Does 'ExportToDisk' make one print job?
- see above. Again, if the report has a subreport, this will consume at least two print jobs.
How much time does a typical print job takes to complete?
- no way to tell in general terms. There are too many variables that will affect this. From how complex the report to database connections to version of runtime
What care shall I take to reduce the print job time?
- Best you can do is ensure that you are destroying the report object once you are done with it (report.close, report.dispose)
Will using Report Application Server (RAS) or Business Objects Enterprise increase the number of concurrent print jobs? If yes then by what amount?
- no it will not
To utilize Report Application Server (RAS) or Business Objects Enterprise, do I just need to use a specific SDK or is there some thing more to it?
- You do need to use the RAS assemblies for RAS, BOE assemblies for BOE. More information is below.
Sample RAS apps:
https://boc.sdn.sap.com/samples/84/1194
An article on RAS:

Business Objects Enterprise Licensing for Crystal Reports

I am new to Business Objects & Crystal Reports. I have recently been given the repsonsibility of supporting our BO XI R2 environment. This system is not in production yet, but initial use has shown an inability to create a crystal report.
If I select Crystal Reports Explorer in Business Objects Enterprise Applications, I get the following error:
"You do not have the correct keycode installed to use this option. Please contact your support office for further details."
I informed my boss who provided me with a "Crystal Reports Explorer Windows XI R2 License CPU English" keycode.
I entered this keycode in the License keys correctly. The license reflects "BusinessObjects Crystal Reports Explorer" but does not show any licenses - just dashes for named users, concurrent users, processors, expires...
I still get the same error when accessing the Crystal Reports Explorer.
Am I missing something here? Is there more that I need to do, or is there a problem with the keycode?

Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:
BI Platform
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all BOE queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thank you for your understanding,
Ludek

How to convert existing url to a new url for crystal reports on server

please help me out how should I convert the old exisiting url to a new url??

Hi,
You can try using "goLiink" and then use the property targetFrame set to "_blank"; below are some for ur references:
targetFrame
_blank: The link opens the document in a new window.
_parent: The link opens the document in the window of the parent. For example, if the link appeared in a dialog window, the resulting page would render in the parent window.
_self: The link opens the document in the same page or region.
_top: The link opens the document in a full window, replacing the entire page.
Thanks,

CRVS2010 Beta - Licensing for "Crystal Reports for VS 2010"

Hello,
We have Crystal reports 2008 developer license which was upgraded from Crystal reports 11 Developer edition.
We have migrated to VS 2010 and need to use "Crystal Reports for VS 2010". But we only need to use the runtime version of it and are not using the crystal reports designer. Do we need to purchase/upgrade the license? If yes, then could you please let us know the details?
Thanks,
Gulab.

CRVS 2010 being a Beta, I am not sure that the licensing details have been worked out yet. However, going by past versions;
Runtime is free for win apps
Runtime is free for web apps - as long as these are used internally. See [SAP Crystal Reports Licensing Information|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/query-reporting-analysis/sapcrystalreports/licensing/index.epx] for more details.
The above 2 I suspect will be carried over to CRVS 2010 - no guarantees, but this would make sense.
Runtime for web apps deployed to 3rd parties does require extra licensing. The licensing for versions of CR that bundled with .NET 2006 and .NET 2008 are described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317789
I'll check with Program Management if all of the above applies and confirm once I get an answer.

Customer License for crystal report

To Whom It May Concern,
Hi, I am new to SAP. I am asking this questions on behalf of my company who are developing software for customers.
We are using crystal report to develop our software to sell to our customers. My question is, does the customer compulsory to buy the license key to open it?
Another question is, what is the visual advantage? Does it have an additional towards the crystal report?
Hope to hear from you guys.
Thank you.

Hi there,
For creating reports CR 2008 License key is required. But Customer can simply view the reports using CR Viewer.
Visual Advantage is the combination of Xcelsius & CR.
Hope it clarifies.
Cheers,

Need disks or download for Crystal Reports V10

We have used Crystal Reports V10 previously and want to install it on a server, but we are unable to locate the previous versions (V10) CD. Can I get a copy of the CD's or can I download V10?

Hi Sandra,
As it was mentioned earlier that CR 10 as crossed its End of life cycle time.
So, it is hardly possible to get the down load from the site.
But if you reach your accounts manager to get the details for the SAP portal login and reach CIC group based on that they will check your license agreements and will let you know is there any possible chance to get or to upgrade to the next versions of crystal i.e CR XI or CR XIR2.
They will suggest you how to proceed further in the renewal.
Regards,
Naveen.

Do you need a new license when migrating office

Just bought a new air 13,3, want to migrate docs and apps form a current macbook, will i need new licenses for the Office suite?

No, but you will be asked to re-enter your (lengthy) code number that you had to enter when you originally registered the product.
I don't recall the exact name of that number -- it might be called an authorization number or serial number. As I recall, it's about 20 or 25 characters long perhaps in groups of 5 separated by dashes.

I need a new license of final cut. Can I buy Final Cut X and use that serial on an older version of Final Cut?

I work in a small studio and we hired a new editor. We are staying on an older version of Final Cut Studio and need a new license/serial so we can run it on the new machine without having the 'protection error' over the network.
We CANNOT upgrade all of the machines at this time - we are in the middle of a few projects and need to keep the workflow going smoothly.
If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio can we use the license on our old product and wait to install the new one until we can upgrade all of the machines at the same time? we're still on studio 6.
Thank you!

>If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio
The newest version of Final Cut Studio was FCS 3 (aka FCS 2009) which contained FCP 7. It has been discontinued by Apple and recalled from retailers. If you can still find a legitimate copy to purchase, you can only use the serial number for that version. Serial numbers from other versions will not work.
