would not do that...
I think it needs office installed on the client, not very nice, except
for intranet.

Have a look at this:

It's free and it might be what you need.

No, it doesn't need Officr neither on the client nor on the server.

If all you need is viewing and printing charts, you don't need any license.
You can install OWC on the server, produce charts and send them down to
clients as long as the client doesn't interact with the chart. I use this
scenario in a commercial application. It works with no problems.

I implemented a framework around microsoft excel (i know this isn't
shareware but most people already have excel) that allows you to create
the chart using excel and easily add it as a user control in an Asp.net
page. Its far better looking and easy to create than using a charting
component that you have to code to get working well. If you are
interested I'd be happy to send you some chunks of code, but heres a
snippet...it basically is a save as html of the excel chart....
Excel.ApplicationClass
xl=new Excel.ApplicationClass();
Excel.Workbook wkbook=null;
try
{
xl.AutomationSecurity=Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoAutomationSecurity.msoAutomationSecurityForceDisable;
wkbook=xl.Workbooks.Open(server.MapPath(request.ApplicationPath+xlfiledirectorybaseuri+xlfilename),
3,false,1,Missing.Value,Missing.Value,true,
Missing.Value,9,false,false,Missing.Value,false,true,Missing.Value);
wkbook.RefreshAll();
try
{
System.IO.Directory.Delete(server.MapPath(request.ApplicationPath+imageuri),true);
System.IO.File.Delete(server.MapPath(request.ApplicationPath+imagesavefileuri+htmlsavefilename));
}
catch
{
;
}
Excel.PublishObject
obj=wkbook.PublishObjects[xlchartobjectname];
obj.HtmlType=Excel.XlHtmlType.xlHtmlStatic;//xlHtmlChart;
obj.Filename=server.MapPath(request.ApplicationPath+imagesavefileuri+htmlsavefilename);
obj.Publish(0);
this.sChartImageURI=request.ApplicationPath+imageuri+imagefilename;
}
finally
{
wkbook.Close(false,Missing.Value,Missing.Value);
wkbook=null;
xl.Workbooks.Close();
xl.Quit();
xl=null;
}

Eliyahu is right, charts do not require a version of Office installed on the
client or server for that matter. In addition, the licensing allows the use
of read-only chart generation on the server streamed to the client. FYI,
licensing is only concerned with client-side interactivity.
