Crystal Reports .Net - I receive a 'free license could not be
obtained' error when deploying my .net app
The full text of the error is:
A Crystal Reports job failed because a free license could not be
obtained in the time allocated. More licenses can be purchased direct
from Crystal Decisions or through the Crystal Decisions Online Store.

Zaki,

A quick search using http://www.google.com for that error message found:

Err Msg: "... job failed because a free license could not be obtained..."
http://support.crystaldecisions.com/library/kbase/articles/c2012716.asp

This error message appears when one of the following scenarios occur:
A) The incorrect keycode was used in the license key property of the
License.msm merge modules. To resolve, deploy the application again
and enter the correct keycode.

B) The incorrect registration and keycode values are used when registering
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET (CR for VS .NET). To resolve,
go to http://support.crystaldecisions.com/downloads and download:
