Is there a difference between Crystal Reports 2011 and Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010?
We are creating a number of ASP.Net applications and have been using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010. My boss recently purchased 5 licences for Crystal Reports 2011 thinking that we need them. After looking into it I don’t believe we do anymore.
Would anyone be able to tell me which version I should be using? and what the difference between them is?
Edit: How is this not constructive? I’m asking what the difference is between the two products. One requires a licence the other doesn’t. Theres not going to be an extended debate. Simple answer which I just can’t find on google.
Note: If this should be moved to a different Stack Exchange website please let me know.

You’ll have to investigate the features yourself and decide if they are useful or not.
Your biggest problems will be scalability and licensing–you may want to investigate SAP Crystal Server.
