Licensing

Try it first. Then talk to us.

SSRS2 is licensed per company, and every licence includes every feature. Prove it works on your own reports before a single conversation — then email sales for a quote matched to your deployment.

Evaluate it before you contact anyone

No form, no sales call, no time-limited download. Install the package and point it at the RDLC files you already have.

$ dotnet add package SSRS2.NETCore

Every feature works

Nothing is disabled during evaluation. If a report renders correctly unlicensed, it renders identically licensed — minus the watermark.

Your reports, not ours

Existing RDLC files need no changes. The point of the trial is to find out where your real reports disagree with the engine, not to watch a demo.

Only a watermark

Unlicensed output carries a trial watermark. It never throws, so an evaluation cannot break a build you are experimenting in.

One licence, everything included

There is no feature matrix to compare and no tier that unlocks the format you need. A licence key records who it belongs to and when it expires — it does not decide what the engine will do.

PDF, Excel, Word, HTML and MHTML export
PNG, JPEG and WebP image export with DPI control
Charts, gauges and maps, including 3D chart rendering
.NET 8, 9 and 10 — Linux, macOS, Windows, Docker
.NET Framework 4.7.2 and 4.8 for in-place adoption
No GDI+, no libgdiplus, no native dependencies
Identical output on every platform via bundled fonts
Clickable hyperlinks in generated PDFs
Text justification — a feature SSRS itself never had
Unlimited developers, reports and render volume

What shapes your quote

Every quote is written for the deployment in front of it. These are the things that move it, so telling us about them up front saves a round trip.

Scale of the organisation

Licences are agreed per company rather than per seat, so the size of the business matters more than how many developers touch the code.

Support you actually need

Some teams want email support and nothing more. Others need a response-time commitment because reporting sits on a critical path.

Term of the agreement

Longer commitments and multi-year agreements are handled differently from a single year. Say which you are planning for.

Anything beyond the licence

Migration help, training, code escrow or custom development are arranged separately. Mention them and they go into the same conversation.

Write to sales

Quotes are handled over email, by people who know the engine. Include these and the first reply can be a real answer instead of a questionnaire.

  • 1

    Where reports will run

    Windows service, Linux containers, a cloud host — and which .NET versions you target.

  • 2

    What you are replacing

    Microsoft ReportViewer, an SSRS server, Power BI Paginated Reports, or something else.

  • 3

    Roughly how big the estate is

    A dozen RDLC files behind one app is a different conversation from several hundred across a product line.

  • 4

    Anything the trial already showed you

    A report that came out wrong is the most useful thing you can send. Attach the RDLC and we will look at it.

Common questions

Can I evaluate SSRS2 before buying?

Yes, and without asking us first. Install the package and use it. Every feature works; output carries a trial watermark until a licence key is in place.

Are features gated by tier?

No. Every export format, chart type and supported platform is in every licence. The key records who it belongs to and when it expires, nothing more.

Do you count users, servers or reports?

No metering, no phone-home, no per-user or per-report counting. The key is validated offline against a public key embedded in the assembly, so licensed machines never need to reach us.

What happens when a licence expires?

Reports keep rendering. Output reverts to carrying the watermark instead of failing, so a lapsed licence is a visible nuisance rather than an outage in a pipeline you depend on.

How long until someone replies?

Sales enquiries are answered by email, by people who work on the engine. The more of your deployment you describe, the more the first reply is worth.

Still deciding?

Run your hardest report through it. That answers more than any pricing table would.
