- Complete source code of the reporting engine and designer
- Royalty-free distribution within your own applications
- No obfuscated or compiled units — full modification allowed

- Recompiling: when recompiling source for your IDE version, set conditional defines (e.g., compiler version checks) as needed; build runtime packages before design-time packages; install design-time packages only if they match the IDE's compiler version.
- DCU/BPL mismatch: ensure precompiled units (DCU) or packages match your compiler version—older DCUs are incompatible with newer compilers; recompile the source to produce compatible DCUs.
- Version control: keep modified source under version control and document local changes to facilitate future merges with vendor updates.
- Updates: preserve a patch/upgrade plan when vendor releases newer versions; compare diffs of vendor source versus your modified source before merging updates.
