Redistribution rules for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio- Server Application

[Former Member]

The following document has information about redistribution rules for server application in page 4: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70bd6328-4128-2d10-7882-d7b95418d...

The app that I'm trying to build and redistribute is (I think) considered a Server application. For server applications this document says that the developer must acquire a copy of Crystal Report for each 3rd party deployment. To comply with this requirement what exactly must be done? Do we have to contact SAP sales and ensure that these Crystal Report licenses (1 for each app deployment) get purchased under my company's account? Also, what Crystal Report Product would be sufficient in terms of complying with this licensing requirement? Sap Crystal Reports 2013?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Andrew

Yes, please do contact sales. They know this licensing better that anyone. NA ph: 866-681-3435.

I know this is a few months late, but better late than never!

What I got from sales was that in order to comply with the server app redistribution rules a crystal reports license must be purchased and be owned by the organization or company using the server app. It doesn't matter who buys it, whether it's the company who developed the server app or the company utilizing it.

You also do not have to inform SAP that a Crystal Reports license has been purchased for use of a server app. They're not keeping track of this yet.
