ASI distributes a royalty-free Crystal Reports 9 runtime with this release. The runtime license allows you to run the supplied Crystal reports. In order to modify or create a report, you must purchase and install a complete Crystal license. Due to new licensing guidelines established by Business Objects, ASI cannot distribute a royalty-free runtime for Crystal 10 or higher. Using Crystal reports for the web may require a different Crystal license. Contact your AiSP or go to Crystal's site to determine which product to purchase.
ASI continues to distribute the Crystal 9 runtime, which is compatible with the full versions of Crystal 10 and higher. However, be aware that features added to the newer releases make reports with these features incompatible with the Crystal 9 runtime. Problems encountered as a result of these new features are not supported by ASI since we are restricted to distributing the Crystal 9 runtime. Therefore, be sure to back up any existing report before modifying it in Crystal 10 or later. In our testing, we have not experienced problems, but the risk remains.
