Crystal Report Server NFR key invalid...

I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.  I'm trying to install our NFR copy of Crystal Reports Server (https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000879362009E).  There's an NFR key on the page that we're supposed to use to install the software BUT the software tells me the key is invalid.  Does anyone know where I can get a functional registration key?

Hi,
I'd suggest talking with your sales rep to get a key.  You can also probably get a temp key following this note:

  • Problems with Crystal reports server 2008 VI (Invalid logon information)

    I have added a report that connects to the SQL server and also I set up the required ODBC for the report on the server. I could run the report without any issues.
    When I add the same report to another folder in CMC or add a new report that uses the same connection, and try to run it, I get the following error.
    I did set location and verify database in Crystal designer many times and added the report into CMC, but still it gives me the error.
    However the first report that I added still works fine. For some reports it shows the parameter screen and when I enter them and click OK it gives the same error. I checked the logon information and they are correct. Reports work fine in Crystal designer. When I added the report, in the database configuration I selected "Use original database logon information from the report." and entered the SQL user id and password.
    error message:
    "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect"
    I then went back to the database configuration and selected "Use custom database logon information specified here." and entered the ODBC connection info.
    With this when I run the report it takes a little longer and again asks me to enter the user id and password, even though I selected "Use same database logon as when report is run" option. Still when I enter the user id and password and click ok it keeps on prompting the same. I kept on entering it for 20 times, still it kept on prompting for the same. I am not sure how to make this work.
    The report that I am trying to run has an SQL command (that links with 10+ tables), views and some tables. It also got one dynamic parameter prompt.
    Also when I select the item from dropdown box "Table Prefix" and save and come back to the database configuration the option I selected is blank. It seems like CMC is not saving this. I found out that this sometimes happens with the password too.
    I have checked on SAP forum and could not find a solution for either of these problems yet.
    I do have created a web site with CR developer 2008 that runs the same report and it works there without any issues.
    Could any one help me with this?

    I assume that you have built your reports with the CR Designer 2008 V1. Try to open the affected report in the CR Designer and select Database->VErify database and save it back into the repository. Does it work?

  • Invalid Key code Error while installing crystal report server 11

    While installing crystal report server 11,i am facing an erro which says Invalid Key code Error.I had raised this issue to SAP customer support and attaching the conversation that we had.PLEASE HELP me to resolve the issue.
    MAILS--Dear Mohit,
    Thanks for the patience.
    We have received the below update from the Licensing Team.
    You received your permanent key in respect of these licenses - the key is  for Crystal Reports Server XI.
    You did not purchase these licenses for Crystal Reports Server, but purchased it for Crystal Reports and a 5-named user license for Crystal Reports was included as a special offer.  The software included was version XIR2, but you elected to use version XI instead and received key .
    You would need to enroll the licenses in maintenance if you want to upgrade them.
    In case of any queries please create a ticket via the Service Market Place.

    Please help us to resolve the issue as early as possible.
    My contact number:
    If you need any further information do let me know

    Ajit,
      By design, the product is not able to be installed under the superuser account.
    1.  Create a new user and specify a home directory for the user without a quota set.
    2.  Copy or move the installation files to a directory that the new user can read.  I suggest you move the installation files directly into the new user's home directory.
    3.  Logon as the new user (or su - newuser)
    4.  run the installation shell script using that new user's account.
    NOTE:  Ensure the system meets the requirements from the supported platforms documents.

  • Crystal Report Server XI R2

    Hi,
    We have been using Crystal Reports XI and Crystal Report Server XI.
    As part of a series of upgrades we wanted to upgrade to Release 2 of each product. The Crystal Reports XI R2 upgrade went fine but when I try to upgrade Crystal Reports Server XI it says the key codes are invalid or obsolete.
    We have "no-expiring" codes for each product. Do we need new codes for Crystal Report Server xi R2 and if so how do we obtain them?
    Thanks,
    Steve Slye

    Thanks for the information...I'm new to this process with SAP.
    Can you provide me an additional information on exactly how you go about requesting the keys from SAP Market Place and do you know if there is a cost associated with the  XI R3 version?
    Thanks again,

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 Trial Installation Problem

    I recently downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 and ran into a problem with the installation key code sent to me.  During the install, I enter the keycode and the install application says it is invalid.  I'm attempting to install the Linux version on Red Hat Enterprise 5.2.  I know that this is technically not a supported version of Linux but I would not expect that cause a problem with the  key code.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what is happening?
    Thanks...

    Hi Jeff,
    I would suggest you to install Crystal reports on supported platform only.
    To narrow down the issue you can try to install on other machine with supported environment so that it would be clear that the issue is with Keycode or not.

  • Crystal Reports Server XI R2 - RAS service will not start

    We had a copy of Crystal Reports Server XI R2 running on a Windows 2003 SBS Server and the database running on SQL Server 2000 on the same box. We were forced to upgrade this server Windows 2003 SBS Server 2003 R2 with SQL Server 2005. The upgrade worked fine however after the upgrade we could no longer open reports in infoview.
    We soon realised that the RAS(Report Application Server) service was stopped however we could not start it.
    We tried doing a full uninstall(deleting the directory and registry info) and reinstall several times on the same server pointing to the existing database and trying to create a new database in both MYSql and SQL Server but again the same problem. While our licensing agreement means we can only install it on one server we tried on another and again we had the same issue.
    We see several errors in the event viewer of the server, these are:
    -Unable to create the Corba OSCA factory and register it on the eBus (Source:BusinessObjects_crystalras)
    -Failed to register with the CMS 'Server Name'. Please make sure the CMS is up and running. Attempting an automatic retry. (Source: We see this error show on a fair few of the service after stopping and firing up services, but they seem to disappear)
    -An error occurred while creating a Page Server subprocess.(Source: BusinessObjects_pageserver)
    If I try firing the crystalras executable just for interest sakes I get a "No valid license found for this product" error.
    We thought it may have been a license issue caused by the upgrade but have been told that the license key still appears to be valid.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hey did anyone ever answer your question, I have exactly the same problem 4 years later, sigh

  • How to install SharePoint MOSS 2007 PIK for Crystal Report Server XI R2?

    My configuration is :

    Cyrstal Report Server XI R2 on another box
    I have downloaded the kit installation: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/503988db-58c5-2b10-f79d-cb96700417f9 [original link is broken]

    Download BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit - ZIP 5MB
    I do not have BO Enterprise.
    Thanks,

    Answered my own question.  Managed to upgrade to 5.0 following this process, but follow these instructions with care...
    1.  Stop all CMS services in Config Manager.
    2. Go to Add/Remove programs and click "change" for Crystal Reports Server XI.  Click on "Modify" then change the entry for MySQL4.1.13a to "Entire Feature will be unavailable" (from Enterprise -> Server Components -> Servers - > Central Management Server).  This will remove the existing mySQL version and any data/license key information/customisation, so be wary.
    3. Install the desired version of mySQL.
    4. Use the MySql command line to create a new database - "create DATABASE BOE115;"
    5. In the Central Config Manager, select the CMS and display its properties.  Select the Dependencies tab and remove the old version of mySQL and add the new version.  Click on the Config tab, then Select Datasource.  Select mySQL driver, then complete the details for the newly created database.  Once complete it will still produce an error, at which point you need to select the options to Re-create the Current Datasource.
    6. Once the datasource is sucessfully recreated, restart the Crystal service in the Config Manager.
    7. Open the Config tool, and add your license key. Then Re-Enable all the servers within the Servers page.
    8.  Any other customisation or preferences would need to be re-applied.
    This worked for me, but obviously take care as your existing mySQL database will be completely removed during the process.

  • Crystal Reports Server - Scheduling Report Exports

    Dear Experts,
    We are using Crystal Reports Server XI Edition and we would like to schedule report exports. Crystal Reports Server configuration console allows us to automate report exports but apparently we could not find a way to pass report parameters and formulas from any export management tab. Naturally, each report needs to take different parameters but to our knowledge CRS management console does not have a screen that prompts us to key in or to read dynamic report parameters and formula. It simply uses the default report parameters. Can you confirm this please?
    To overcome this limitation, we are thinking of developing something like a script that directly interacts with CRS. The script would pass the name of the report, the report parameters and other relevant details like CMS username/ password.Do you think this is possible and if yes can you please point us to the key APIs required for scheduling report exports?
    My sincere thanks for your assistance.
    Kind Regards,
    Joseph.

    You are able to change the parameters for the report within the Central Management Console under the processing tab before scheduling. 
    Here is some sample applications that you can refer to in regards to doing this using the api:

  • TruncateClippedFieldStrings for Crystal Reports Server 2008?

    When we were running Crystal Reports XI, we had to add the registry key "TruncateClippedFieldStrings" on our server, because text fields on Crystal Reports were overlapping rather than truncating.  Now that we are on Crystal Reports Server 2008, we are having the same problem.  Does anyone know if this same fix applies to Crystal Reports Server 2008, and if so, do I also have to change the Crystal Reports Page Server (which I don't see in 2008) and Crystal Reports Report Application Server?
    Thanks,
    jeff

    Hi,
         Yes, it is there. Just need to click on the right link. Try this
    Support Portal -> Software Downloads -> BusinessObjects Downloads -> Support Packages and Patches-> C -> Crystal Reoprts Server 2008 V1.....
         Yes, this is very tedious but I just checked and can confirmed SP3 is there.

  • CRRuntime_12_0.msm and Crystal Reports Server X1 R2 SP2

    I have installed an app onto a server with the CRRuntime merge module in the project setup file. Although I have removed the app no .NET app which loads a crystal report will run on the server. Is there a conflict between the CRRuntime and the Crystal Reports Server please?
    I cannot see any evidence of the runtime remaining on the server but would appreciate any comments.
    Many thanks
    Ian Carr

    Hi Ian,
    Likely what has happened when you un-installed is the Microsoft Installer did not completely remove all our references in the registry. CR Server is possibly looking for the CR 12 folders which no longer exist.
    Try doing a repair install from Add/Remove Programs for CRS.
    You could search the registry for any CR 12 key's but I don't recommend removing them. Repairing should put 11.5 first in the list and should resolve the problem.
    Thank you

  • Crystal Report Server XI R2 - Upgrade MySQL to 5.0 or 5.1?

    Although SP4 for Crystal Report Server XI R2 contains mySQL v 4.1.23, there are security vulnerabilities which are only addressed in 4.1.24 and 4.1.25.  These versions are not in release in binary form from mysql.com, as 4.1 is no longer supported.
    To address the security vulnerabilities, an update of mySQL to 5.0 or 5,1 may be required, but a straight upgrade from 4.1 to either of these versions does not seem to work - CMS cannot connect to the new database version.
    Can anyone provide some guidance on how to patch mySQL from 4.1 to 5.0 or 5.1 for Crystal Report Server XI R2, or whether there is another way of addressing the security vulnerabilities in 4.1.23?
    Thanks

  • Broken install of Crystal Reports Server XI R2

    Hi
    In attempting to install some .NET applications I inadvertantly broke our Crystal Report Server (CRS) XIR2 installation, which was at SP2..
    The problem caused the following services to fail:
    CMS
    CR Cache Server
    CR Page Server
    Input Fle Repository Server
    Output file repository Server
    Report Application Server
    The changes made to the server that caused the problem involved installing and removing different Crystal client and .NET packages. I also  ran out of disk space but that was resolved withiout it fixing my CRS issue.
    I have tried to resolve this by installing SP5, in the hope that any invalid DLLs will be replaced during the SP5 install.
    However, we still have the problem and I am wondering what to look at next. All the servers have moved from 11.5.8.826 to 11.5.11.1470 as a result of the application of SP5, but I am guessing the objects causing the problem are outside the scope of the SP5 install.
    Any suggestions? Can anyone who has CRS XI R2 installed give me a list of ancillary Crystal applications and versions they depend on? 
    Thanks Jack, London UK

    A detailed review of the Windows Application Event log shows this sequence of events
    I was trying to get a .NET Crystal automation program to run and it was  not working - it looked to me like I need to install a Crstal runtime client to make this work. I realise we should use a test server but this is a small business with no VMs and only a few servers.
    Up to 15:49:49 - Crystal Reports Server was running normally. At that time Crystal Reports Basic Runtime was reconfigured - I think I tried using Repair from within Add/Remove Programs. This attempt failed, so I removed it  Product Name: Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio 2008. Product Version: 10.5.0.0.

  • Crystal Reports Server XI upgrade to Crystal Reports Server 2008

    I have downloaded the Crystal Reports Server 2008 upgrade from the portal.  Questions:
    The "Upgrading Your Crystal Reports Server Delpoyment from XI or XI Relase 2 to Crystal Rpeorts Server 2008" (simple install) documentation mentions that the installer should recognize my installation and prompt to upgrade.  Instead, the first prompt that I get is for a license key.  Is this normal, or should the application be seeing my existing install?
    If I do indeed need a 2008 license key, how do I obtain one?  It will not accept may CRXI Server keys, and I cannot see anyplace to download the new keys.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I think you can request for new keys:
    For a new key:
    Request key codes for new orders via SAP Marketplace (SMP), will receive a download letter on new purchases providing them with their SMP login credentials. Using these credentials you can login and click in the "Keys & Requests" tab > Request a License key.
    If your Key code does not work
    You need create a customer message https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/message using component XX-SER-LIKEY-BOJ.

    Hi - I'm using Crystal Reports Server 2008 (11.5) and am unable to schedule reports - the schedule (as well as the Process and History) tabs are greyed out in the Central Management Console and don't appear at all in Infoview. In addition I can specify the database when I setup a new report or when using the Publishing Wizard to import files I don't get the dialogue about scheduling.
