Michael (or anyone else),
I did not see any more threads for this. Did you determine anything on
this issue? For me, I'm concerned about the Crystal licensing for using
this for web reporting in an application I'm wanting to deploy for many
users.
What did you determine?
Thanks,
Ted Miller

Crystal is a real problem i believe in that anything over 10 users trying to
access a report from the one server and its not scalable, Crystal Decisions
say they push developemers to use their crappy enterprise solution (crystal
services) and not dll's on the server which is how we do it when using asp
etc...
My boss got quite a sock when i explained to him that the first 5 concurrent
licenses for crystal are inculded in the dev pack ($1000 aus) and the next 5
concurrent licesnses ranges from $22,670 to $48,500.

giving you those real-world tips that the documentation doesn't
offer, and demonstrating complex techniques with simple
examples.
