How to distribute and license reports in a .NET web application?

[groundclutter]

We are creating a web application using .NET for a customer. The reports are to be written in Crystal Reports 9. Currently, I believe we need to use the Advanced Edition to create and deploy these reports. However, does the client need a license too? Can someone explain to me what I need as far as version and licensing for both the developer and the customer?

Thanks much!

I am fighting the same thing. We are running .net framework 1.1 and Crystal 9.0. I was getting the invalid key code messages, then I applied the patch crnet11win_en_sp1.exe then it told me that crystal could not find any free licenses. I thought .net came with a runtime only license. I will keep you informed as we work through this.
