Yes, basic solutions, that allow a developer to generate and deploy reports, are free.
Advanced solutions, that allow end user to create, edit and share reports are not free.
It is free the IDE to be used with Visual Studio; stand alone full IDE is not free
Crystal Reports Runtime for running apps is free. SAP Crystal Server is not free.
EDIT
Look at this article: How do you spell confusion; CR for VS, Crystal 2011, BI 4.x and the .NET SDKs
And 'Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010' (CRVS2010) is born. Note that this version, follows in the footsteps of CR 10.5; it only works in the VS 2010 IDE. E.g.; it is not a stand alone executable like CR XI R2 or CR 2008. CRVS 2010 has both 32 bit and 64 bit runtime. And it has the Crystal Reports SDK for .NET as well as the InProc RAS SDK. And it's FREE(!).
It seems that Crystal Reports licensing depends on many factors. There is a blog from an SAP employee: 'SAP Crystal Licensing for Humans' which puts the information together and covers most cases. The entire simplified licensing whitepaper referred there has 20 pages. Currently the document is up-to-date also for 2013 releases.
Based on the above document (esp. page 4) the answer is that
SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio is free if Crystal Reports is used
- internally in company (external users can also access, but no access fee can be charged to them)
-or-
- with runtime engine deployed only on client machines, i.e. all report processing is done locally on client machine. Also no parallel access to such a client runtime is allowed (also including Citrix or Remote Desktop usage).
For additional information, please check that document.
Please see this post and the licensing information from SAP here to answer your questions.Basically the answer to both questions is 'Yes'.You can download the developer version here.
