Hi,
 
In the past i have designed reports in crystal reports XI for .Net (2008) applications and never looked into crystal report tool which comes with VS2008.

-What is the difference b/w Crystal Report XI Software and Crystal Report tool in Visual Studio 2008/2010?

We are designing web based application in .Net 2010 and thinking about using crystal report for designing, viewing and printing reports. Application will be published on server (64-bit) and over 250 users will be accessing this application.

-Do we need to buy 250 licenses or just one license for CR-XI or later version (Not Visual Studio version) ?


-What are the pros and cons of using crystal report which comes with Visual Studio aparat from buying license?

Crystal XI is no longer sold.  You would have to get either Crystal 2008 or Crystal 2011.  You need one license for each person who will be designing reports.  I think you can distribute report like you're currently doing without having to pay extra, but you would need to verify that.
 
The runtime/designer that comes with Visual Studio 2008 or can be downloaded for VS 2010 is Crystal 10, so there are some new features that it's missing.  Also, I find the designer component in VS to be clunky and sometimes difficult to use - I much prefer creating my reports in Crystal itself when I can.
