You write a whole book on CR and you have to ask about licensing (Thread #1162648)? This is why I use Microsoft Reports. CR licensing is a pain to deal with especially if you're trying to use it in an ASP.Net solution. Try to find a hosting provider to host an ASP.Net solution that uses CR. I haven't tried since '03 but I doubt anything’s changed since then.
