Distributing Crystal Report Engine Applications

Seagate Crystal Reports comes with a royalty-free runtime license for any application that uses the Crystal Report Engine through any of the methods described in this chapter. When distributing a Crystal Report Engine application, you must also distribute several runtime files required by the Crystal Report Engine. These files are listed in the Runtime File Requirements online Help. Be sure to carefully examine this Help file and distribute the appropriate runtime files with your application. All runtime files are included under the runtime license agreement unless otherwise stated.
