1519938 - What is the Crystal Reports SDK Concurrent Processing License (CPL)?

Symptom

Crystal Reports component SDKs - Report Designer Component, Crystal Reports .NET, and Crystal Reports Java - all use the Concurrent Processing License (CPL) model.  What is the CPL?

Resolution

  • The number of CPLs provided with a Crystal Reports component SDK is dependent on type, version and licensing. 
  • CPLs provided are per-process.
  • Each report request made via the API - sap for report open, refresh, fill promts, export - counts as one processing license use.  Note that CPLs do not, by itself, limit the number of report sessions a process may have open, but limits the number of concurrent processing on the opened reports.
  • Subsequent requests beyond the number of CPLs provided are queued in a wait list, until a CPL becomes free.
