Crystal Enterprise is a scalable product that provides you with the ability to add license keys as the demand for report information increases in your organization. You can purchase concurrent, named, and processor licenses.
Concurrent licenses specify the number of people who can connect to Crystal Enterprise at the same time. This type of licensing is very flexible because a small concurrent license can support a large user base. For example, a 100 user concurrent license could support 250, 500, or 700 users depending on the frequency with which the system is accessed and the number and size of the reports.
Named user licenses are associated with specific users and allow people to access the system based on their user name and password. This provides named users with access to the system regardless of how many other people are connected.
You may want to purchase named user licenses for people in your organization who require access to Crystal Enterprise at all times. For example, you could purchase a named user license for each of the 25 managers and a concurrent license for 175 general users.
Processor licenses are based on the number of processors that are running Crystal Enterprise. To determine the number of processor licenses you require, count the number of processors on any servers running any component of Crystal Enterprise (except the Web Connector).
Note: If you are upgrading from a trial version of the product, be sure to delete the Evaluation key prior to adding any new license keys or activation codes.
