Licensing

Your Crystal Reports Developer Edition contains new features and enhancements which provide a great deal more flexibility and power for developing and delivering server-based reporting applications. These include packaged services for publishing reports dynamically on the Web, runtime components for creation of ASP or other server-based reporting applications, and greatly enhanced performance and scalability. The licensing for delivering server applications using these features has changed for this release. Please review the contents of this help file and the license agreement for all details of your specific server-based reporting requirements. You may also contact Seagate Software or visit www.seagatesoftware.com/products/crystalreports  for more information.

There are two ways in which you may create or use Server Software:

1)	By using the packaged services for Web publishing of reports. These are the Seagate Web Component Service, the Seagate Page Server, and related files. These services can be installed with common Web servers and then easily used to power Web applications that need to deliver Crystal reports effectively via the Web. Consult your documentation for more details on this feature.

2)	By creating a server-based (Web or Windows) application using ASP or other distributed technology and embedding Crystal Reports runtime files in this application. Such an application allows users to connect to the Server software directly or indirectly to run, view, edit and use report files. Resulting server applications may be redistributed under the terms of your license agreement.

Server Software Files and Services

Distributable runtime files that may be used to create server software, under the restrictions in the License Agreement, are:

•	RPTSERVER.ASP

•	CRPE32.DLL

•	CRAXDRT.DLL


Server Applications - Concurrent User Authorization

The Developer Edition of Seagate Crystal Reports includes rights to create and use server applications, including the Crystal Reports Web services, with up to five (5) concurrent users only. Any server application using any of the server software, including the Crystal Reports Web services, that will have more than 5 concurrent users requires additional licensing from Seagate Software. Concurrent Access Licenses (CAL) may be purchased from Seagate Software in units of 10.


Server Applications - Distribution

The Developer Edition includes distribution rights for a number of runtime files when used as server applications, to any number of organizations, for up to 5 concurrent users per application. Users of such applications that require more than 5 concurrent users will need to obtain additional licensing from Seagate Software.


Enterprise Broadcast Licensing

Seagate Software has continued to make Crystal Reports more powerful and easier to use as a complete reporting engine for accessing, analyzing and distributing database information across organizations. The licensing for the product has changed to recognize this extensive power and value being delivered in the current product.  In addition to use of server software as described earlier in this section, where users connect directly or indirectly to Crystal reports software, customers often need to create Report Distribution Systems which create, process and deliver information using Crystal Reports.

As noted in the license agreement, “Report Distribution System” means any process or system or combination of processes or systems that is or are used to automatically and/or regularly deliver Reports, without providing any Access to the Server Software:   (a) to greater than fifty (50) end users directly, or (b) to a location that is accessible to greater than fifty (50) end users, who are reasonably likely to view or use the Reports.  A Report Distribution System shall not include:  (a) distribution of Reports in hard copy form; (b) manual distribution on a one-time or ad hoc basis; or (c) distribution of Client Applications created using the Royalty Free Runtime Software.  For purposes of calculating the number of end users, you do not need to include any end user who otherwise has a valid license to use the Software or any of Seagate’s other products (other than any product offered free of charge).

If you create a report distribution system under the above terms and related terms in the license agreement, you are required to obtain additional licensing from Seagate Software. Such licensing is referred to as Enterprise Broadcast Licensing and is based on the number of users of the report distribution system. Please contact Seagate Software or visit www.seagatesoftware.com/products/crystalreports/license for more details on the terms and benefits of this extended licensing model.


How to find out the Maximum Number of Concurrent users
How to find out the Maximum Number of

Concurrent users on your Web Component Server

Three reports which enable you to find out the maximum number of concurrent users on your Web Component Server (WCS) are, by default, installed to C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\WCS\ when you install Seagate Crystal Reports 8. The reports, listed below, report on log files generated based on the usage of the Web Component Server on your server machine.

1.  Max # of concurrent users by day.rpt

2.  Max # of concurrent users by week.rpt

3.  Max # of concurrent users by month.rpt

To find out how to use these reports, see "Using the reports" and "If reports are somewhere other than drive C:".


How to use the reports

If you installed Seagate Crystal Reports to C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\WCS\:

1.	Open one of the reports from C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\WCS\

2.	From the Report menu, select Refresh Report Data.

3.	The report will you return your maximum number of current users by day, week or month, depending on the report you selected to refresh.

2.	From the Database menu, select Set Location. This brings up the Data Explorer.

3.	Click the “+” beside More Data Sources.

4.	Click “+” beside MS IIS/Proxy Log Files to expand the list. If it brings the Select Log Files and Dates dialog box, then skip step 5 and continue to step 6.
