Use of keycode with deployment of Crystal Reports 2008 and Visual Studio

614 Views

I have purchased Crystal Reports 2008 (and installed the latest available on the site as of 19 April 2009).

I am using this with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 to create a C# winforms application.

I purchased CR2008 since I was having problems with the version shipped with VS 2008 (Database expert was hanging VS when I opened it).

How do I deploy the CR 2008 runtime (which I have downloaded)? In particular, this application will be shipped as a thick application (standalone application). When I run the installer it asks for a Product ID. My keycode works. Is this what I should distribute to customers so they can install the CR2008 runtime? Is this legal if it is buried in an installer that calls the CR2008 msi package?

Regards
