Active Reports license

[calson33]

Sorry if this is a total newbie question - I am a total newbie.

I have just started to get into creating reports in Cognos (V10, I think, although I see some references to 8).

One of the options for a new report is the Active report. However, I was told that we don't have a license for that piece.

What kind of license do we need? Is every report type a separate license?

Thanks for any info!

Hi John,

You need report author license. It's not separate for different report types ie,report studio, active reports, query studio,...

I would advice you to work with you IBM account rep to give you more information on the license and they will also guide you on different components in Cognos BI suite which would suit your needs.

Thanks,
RK

Ahh - Thank you!

The reason I asked here is that apparently our IBM rep is none too helpful at the moment.

Who is your IBM account rep. Which company are you from? If you give me your email address I'd be happy to contact you (I am IBM Cognos presales).

You are? A real IBM-type-person? Cool!!! Nice to have you along, Ash. Next time I need a sales demo, I know who to call ;)
