Crystal Reports is not included for free in Visual Studio 2013. Crystal Reports is a separate reporting tool developed by SAP and it requires a separate license to use.

However, Crystal Reports can be integrated with Visual Studio 2013 by installing the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio runtime. This runtime allows you to create and view Crystal Reports within your Visual Studio projects.

To install the Crystal Reports runtime for Visual Studio 2013, you can follow these steps:

Download the Crystal Reports runtime installer from the SAP website.
Run the installer and follow the installation wizard.
Once the installation is complete, you will be able to add Crystal Reports to your Visual Studio 2013 projects.

Please note that while the Crystal Reports runtime is free to use, it has some limitations compared to the full version of Crystal Reports. If you require advanced features or functionality, you may need to purchase a license for the full version of Crystal Reports.

In summary, Crystal Reports is not free for Visual Studio 2013, but you can integrate it with Visual Studio by installing the Crystal Reports runtime.
