License Exception

[Terran23]

Here's what I've got on my dev machine:

Visual Studio.NET 2002
Visual Studio .NET 2003
Crystal Reports 9 Advanced Edition
MSDE as my Database Engine

I'm writing an app in C# (in VS.NET 2003) and I'm trying to print a report. I get "CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.OutOfLicenseException." The error says "A Crystal Reports job failed because a free license could not be obtained in the time allocated. More licenses can be purchased direct from Crystal Decisions or through the Crystal Decisions Online Store."

I also have a VB.NET app (in VS.NET 2002) that prints reports. This app prints just fine.

Also worthy of note: the C# app prints the report in the same way that the VB.NET app does.

So what could be causing this error? Do I need to put my CR9 key into my app somewhere? Point VS.NET 2003 to the CR9 app?

I have CR9 set as my default Crystal Report editor in VS.NET 2003.

Thank you for any information you can give.

I'd guess that your code is creating multiple instances and burning through the licenses.

Also make sure that you apply the service packs:

I did download the patches, but it still doesn't work.

As much as I wish that were a simple "multiple instances" case, I highly doubt it. It's a one-click/one-print kinda thing. I press the print button, it creates the one report and sends it to the printer...no print-previews, no loops of any kind, etc.

Aside from a refresh of my DataSet immediately beforehand, this is the entirety of my Print code:

--begin code--

//Create new instance of RideSchedule Report
// assign it to a Crystal ReportDocument object
// attach the DataSet as its DataSource
// and send it to the printer.
RideSchedule schedReport = new RideSchedule();
ReportDocument repDoc = new ReportDocument();
repDoc = schedReport;
repDoc.SetDataSource(Globals.rideSchedule);
repDoc.PrintToPrinter(1, true, 0, 0);

--end code--

So unless I'm misunderstanding your meaning of "creating multiple instances," then I don't know what else to try.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks for the help.

Have you found a solution yet to the Outoflicense error. I am getting that too.
