title: Crystal Reports for VS2012 – free or not?
body: <p>Since Visual Studio 2010 <strong>Crystal Reports</strong> are no longer part of Visual Studio.
  I'm using <strong>Visual Studio 2012 Professional</strong> and despite checking various sources I cannot reliably determine whether I can</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p><em>freely</em> download and use <strong>Crystal Reports Developer version</strong> for development of commercial applications in <strong>Visual Studio 2012</strong></p></li>
  <li><p><em>freely</em> distribute and install <strong>Crystal Reports Runtime</strong> for running apps (developed above) at clients</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>In other words, do I need to purchase a license or not? Do clients need purchase their licenses, too?</p>
  
  <p>(Besides your answer, providing link to sources of information will be appreciated.)</p>
  
  <p><em>FYI - For obtaining Crystal Reports, there is a <a href="http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824">great resource containing all versions and package types</a>, but still leaving me without the answer.</em></p>
