>I'd like to hear that from seagate directly. The MSM files are provided through a third party which only says that you can use them in installshield express. No mention of any limitation because of licences. Second, I've asked seagate to explain their policy with regards to this MSM. Until date, no answer, nothing on the seagate site, Nothing in the EULA of the professional edition about this one. So I can't see any issues that should stop me from legally using the MSM to distribute my reports. However, I'll make one more attempt to contact seagate.
I've discussed distribution issues with Crystal Decisions. What I've told you is pretty much what they told me.

>FYI, There still are differences between the professional and developers edition. At least the professional edition comes with zero developers help info, provides less developer examples and libraries, Does not offer you answers by email from seagate about developers issues, Does offer less developper RAD convenience.
The sample and help files are downloadable from the Crystal Decisions web site. I have no idea what you mean by "less developer RAD convenience". The designe is identical between the different versions.
