There are three types of licenses for ActiveReports Server:
This is a 30 day free trial version of the product that you can use to determine how ActiveReports Server can fulfill your needs. The Trial Edition includes all of the features in the Core Edition plus the Designer Add-On.
If the initial trial expires before you have had a chance to fully evaluate the product, you may contact activereports.sales@grapecity.com to request an extension of the trial period.
This license covers use of the server, the report portal, the HTML5 report viewer, and as many managed agents as you need. Once you purchase the Core Edition, there is no need to purchase additional licenses as you scale up to handle increased server loads.
With this license, you can schedule and distribute reports, take advantage of self-managed clustering and load-balancing, and provide role-based security for reports and data models. You can even allow users to sign in with their existing user name and password to access centrally stored ActiveReports report files.
In addition to serving up existing reports, if you want to offer your users the ability to create their own ad hoc reports right in the browser, you can purchase the optional Designer Add-On.
The Designer Add-On is a completely browser-based report designer for end users who do not use SQL. End users can create and modify reports and even query, sort, and filter data with no special knowledge of database schema or SQL.
