Plan to include RAP in my system, will user need any licence to access RAP functions report

rbuser

I plan to include RAP function which allow user to design their own reports
with simple Delphi coding using designer, Calc Workspace.

Is that the user who use this system using RAP functions need any licences?

You may compile ReportBuilder reports into an application and distribute the
application royalty free. You can also build royalty-free end-user reporting
solutions. However you may NOT build a stand alone reporting application or
query application or an application that could possibly compete with RB in
any way.

For example, lets say I am user of RB and decide there is market for a
query/reporting application that will import QuickBooks data and enable
users to create/modify queries and reports. This application violates the RB
license agreement. This application is a stand alone reporting application
and does not add materially more functionality than what
is included with RB already.

On the other hand, lets say I have an accounting system for car dealerships
that I have created and I want to add pre-canned reports and end-user
reporting to my application. This is ok. This adds reporting capabilities to
an accounting system that I have written. Reporting is NOT the focal point
of this application, the Reporting will be limited to my accounting
database.

Hope this clarifies things, please post any additional questions here.

For example I have a standard Accouting system in Sales Invoice program, I
will allow user to
print pre-define Sales Invoice Report. But my system allow them to change
positioning,
alignment, and further customised the reports with access to report design.
They can use RAP function to coding and save in a new format. Then next time
it will be able
to use this customised report to print their invoice reports. I plan to have
this feature in all my
standard report, allow them to customised.

Will user need licence to access this RAP function.

That type of application is allowed under the RB license the agreement.



No.

So in what kind of situation there is a need for RAP licence?

What is the feature different between End-user need licence
and without need licence for RAP features?

nardmoseley

- I tried to explain that already, see my initial response to your post

- What is the point of your question? Do you have another type of
application in mind?
