>Ah.. so they changed it...again. The biggest complaint I have about Crystal Reports is that just as you figure out what the licensing really is, they change it. People who complain about Microsoft licensing should look at Crystal's.

I Agree their licencing is as clear as mud and changes with every version. However AFAIK, distributing the runtimes with a FAT client application and without the RDC development component always was royalty free.

>>Are you sure you read the link you provided? In deploying FAT client apps without the runtime RDC development component distribution is still royalty free. It also depends on wherther the reporting is for internal or external use. In most regular cases (YMMV) distribution is royalty free.
