There are 2 parts to Crystal Reports - the GUI reports designer, which lets
you create reports and also run reports, and a run time engine, which will
only run reports. You can freely redistribute the run time engine, if you
own a license of Crystal Reports. This run time engine (a set of DLLs), can
be integrated to a Delphi application through a VCL control. To the user,
it would appear that the Delphi app is generating the report.
You can also compile the report into an EXE file. There is a wizard in the
report designer that lets you create setup applications for the compiled
reports.
Regards,
Dennis.
