Crystal Reports 8.5 Trial

Does anyone know where I can download a legal copy of version 8.5 trial? I need to learn this version for a client and would like to get familiar with it before arriving at the client. All the legal trial versions are too new for me.

Please help with my crystal reports server 2008 trial setup

Firstly, if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it. I find this forum is to big to find the information i need, in fact trying to find anything i need on this website is almost impossible. So far not impressed with SAP at all! we download a trial and when we have problems nobody can support us and we have to post in the forums for answers, which i find disgracefull to be honest. So this post is my last attempt of finding the answers to my problems or we are going to forget crystal reports server for good! I was also told that if i wanted help setting this up then i would have to pay, thats not how things usually go when we download a trial of any software!
Anyway, rant over!!
Right, we have windows server 2008 and have installed crystal reports server 2008. So far all i have managed to get working is the reports themselves which run and schedule fine. The dashboard and business views are so confusing i just dont get it at all, the manuals dont help either becuase they are rubbish basically. But my first problem is trying to get windows AD authentication working! easier said than done. I have spent 4 days trying to get it working but nothing is happening. this is what i have done so far
Set up all the options in the CMC to enable AD authentication, mapped a few groups one of which i am a member of.
Then i setup the krb5.ini file like below (removed my server name and domain name)
[libdefaults]
    default_realm = DOMAIN.CO.UK
    dns_lookup_kdc = true
    dns_lookup_realm = true
    udp_preference_limit = 1
[realms]
DOMAIN.CO.UK = {
    kdc = DC.CO.UK
    default_domain = DOMAIN.CO.UK
i also have that other file bscLogin which looks like this...
com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate {
com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;
The server inteligence agent has been set to use the same username as i specified in the CMC which is also the service principal name and the administartion name
i have set the web config file to use SecWINAD as default, i have also set it to give the option of enterprise, win ad etc in a drop down list
i have gone round in circles for days following the instructions, and nothing is happening
Also i dont see any usernames within the groups i have mapped , am i supposed to see any? am i supposed to add them manually?? if so, whats the point in that?
So now everytime i try to log in i get this error message
Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again. If you are not a member of the default domain, enter your user name as UserName@DNS_DomainName, and then try again. (FWM 00006)
There is also another error message i get, which isnt coming up right now but it says somthing along the lines of could not authenticate at this time (FWM 00005)
i fail to see what im doing wrong. I shoudl also point out that the username i am using for everything is our own network admin password!
any ideas on things to check before we give up with this all together?

Hi Roberto,
With the changes when SAP took over BusinessObjects the support packaging also changed. It's the way it is now but we are moving to and giving as much options as we can. SAP works on the Self Serve practice. the info is available but you have to find it, which is another thing we are working on to improve for BOE/CRS.
Best place to start is in the CMS link off the start menu, You'll find the Admin Guide and Setup/Configuration Guides. You can also find all of the latest info and updates to those guides from help.sap.com then click on the SAP BusinessObjects tab along the top and then on the left click on All Products and then filter on your version.
Once the Firewalls and Domains and your CRS Server is added to the Trusted Domains and ports opened to allow CRS to talk to the DNS Server CRS will begin to load all of the users into it's User Mappings. You still have to add each user or Group of Users but they will be available. Documents does describe how to....
Once you have the Admin Guide search on Security and it explains in details how to set up and which ports need to be opened etc.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Reports Server 2008 trial install - unable to log into CMC

Hi,
I have been looking for a way to host my existing Crystal XI reports on our in house web application rather than using a thick client application with cview. I was told that the options were Crystal Reports Server 2008 or Visual Studio 2008. I have downloaded trials of both and am currently testing.
After installing Crystal Reports Server 2008, including MySQL DB and Tomcat web server, i am unable to log into any of the applications with the error that:
Error: Server SCOTTPC:6400 not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null
After seeing this i checked the services on my test machine and found that the Server Intelligence Agent was not started. So i tried starting it and recieved the generic windows message:
Service on local computer started and them stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do ... etc
After multiple reboots and reinstalls i am still unable to use any aspect of the application as i am unable to log into the CMC as the server is down. Now i am new to Crystal reports and web servers so have a very limited knowledge of whats going on here - i am primarily a DBA. From what i can tell MySQL does not even appear to be installed but i cannot be sure.
Any suggestions?

ok... after research it seems a DSN has not been created.
Also when trying to start the server intelligence service i see the following in the application event viewer:
[Node Name: SCOTTPC]
[User Name: SYSTEM]
Server Intelligence Agent has failed to initialize because the bootstrap file C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\_boe_SCOTTPC.bootstrap is missing information about the CMS cluster. Please restore your bootstrap file from your backup.
i have recreated the bootstrap file but still get the same error.
i have SQL Server 2005 installed on this rig as well - could this be causing the issue? Would it be better for me to integrate this to SQL Server rather than using the MySQL DB that comes with Crystal server 2008?

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.

Problem message:
"Crystal Reports: Application Error Couldn't load keydecoder.dll"
I have Windows Vista and I have already configured all permissions and administrative rights to the problem to full control.

I have also already attempted to reinstall and making a new program file location named 'Crystal Reports 2008'.
I'm running out of ideas and would appreciate some help. Thank you

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I followed the other link and it didn't help my current situation.
Is there a link for paid support .. all I need to do is the following for a client:
1) Install Crystal report 2011 on a Microsoft 2008 Server R2.. my error message is above.
Resolve the error on start up of Crystal reports..
It's already been over 1 week .. and I can't seem to get a live person on SAP that can help me... once this is resolved I think I will be ok.
I have CR XI on running on another server with no issues.. I don't know if the above is due to a service pack issue, security issue on installation, ... its a production server so I just want to resolve this quick.
Any help you can give me on getting alive person that I can talk to will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Crystal Report Trial balance

Dear All,
I am trying to build a Trial Balance in Crystal report using the followings SQL Query as under :
SELECT T1.[TransId], T1.[Line_ID], T1.[Account], T0.[AcctName], T0.[GroupMask], T1.[Debit], T1.[Credit], T1.[FinncPriod], T1.[RefDate] FROM OACT T0 INNER JOIN JDT1 T1 ON T0.AcctCode = T1.Account
To a very much extent I am able to extract the correct data for the financial period. Now I also want a column of Opening balance to be shown in this report.
For example if I run the report for monthly basis the following should be shown :
Opening Balance Debit Credit Closing Balance
hence if suppose I run the report from 1st August 2009 to 31st August 2009 my report is generating wrong balances as closing balance of 31st June 2009 is not reflected in the report but the debit and credit balance is showing correct for the said period.
Do I need to create some formula in Crystal Report or is there a way to modify the above SQL query.
Any early response would be appreciated.
Regards,
Kamlesh

hi kamlesh,
Why you are going for crystal reports ?
Standard report seems to fulfill your requirement Financial Reports ---> Trial Balance.
Check this link

Hope it helps.

Trial version of crystal report

Hi,
Do anyone know where to download trial version of crystal report and components to connect R3? Thx.

Hi,
You can integrate CR 2008 SP1 with R3.
Download CR 2008 trial version from here - http://www.businessobjects.com/campaigns/forms/downloads/crystal/2008/default.asp
Also you need to install SP1 in order to integrate it with SP1.
Also I don't know that trail version of CR 2008 Sp1 can be integrated with R3 or not.
Note:- Currently CR 2008 SP1 is not available.
Hope it helps,

Amit

Crystal Reports 2008 Trial crashes; crw32.exe error; any fix?

I downloaded the trial for Crystal Reports 2008 and I can open the application fine, but when I go to create a report and click on the u201CCreate New Connectionu201D for the database I get a Just-in-time error for crw32.exe and my application shuts down.
Iu2019ve been trying to look for a resolution in your forums but could not find anything. I check for updates it says there are none; I've uninstalled and reinstalled already didn't fix it; I've download sp1 manually and installed but no luck.
I do have MS SQL Server 2008 installed on my system, could this be causing some problems?
I'm running Windows XP, also have VS .NET 2003 installed, but I'm only wanting to use CR 2008 application.
Similar to this existing problem: An unhandled Win32 exception occurred in crw32.exe 5048. Crystal 2008 Crash
I cannot uninstalled SQL Server 2008 because I need it.

Hi Henry,
Crystal Reports 2008 is not officially tested with SQL Server 2008.
Try with this:
1. Reduce the 'Hardware acceleration' setting in Microsoft Windows.
2. To access the 'Hardware acceleration' setting in Microsoft Windows:
Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Display > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshooting.
There are typically six possible settings for 'Hardware acceleration': from 'None' to 'Full'.
If you are using Dual monitor run the CR application on primary monitor cause Dual monitor is not tested with CR.
If still the issue occurs then manually un-install and reinstall the application.

Shweta

Crystal Reports 2008 Trial Version Runtime Error

Hello
Yesterday I've downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 (Trial Version). The installation was successful. I've got no error.
Anyway, I'm unable to start Crystal Reports. I get the following error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime LIbrary
Runtime Error!
Program: ...ects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32x86\crw32.exe
Abnormal Program Termination
I've already tried all "solutions" mentioned in Re: Crystal Reports 2008 trial version ERROR (DEP, HW acceleration, etc.) but without success (I'm running Windows XP with SP2). I've also updated Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 resp. 2008 redistributables...
Can someone help me?
Thank you!

Hi Patrick,
Nothing Strange about it. You need local Admin rights to access registry and other parts and CR needs the same.
Check anti-virus or possibly firewall settings. When you installed did the installer ask you to allow All users to run CR?
You may want to check with your IT guys, they may have modified your local user group to not allow some rights.
Bottom kine is your PC security is blocking access that CR needs under your local user account.
When you do try to run it does UAC pop up a message to allow you to run CR Designer? If not then it may be you have customer settings for that also.
Search Microsofts site on more info on user rights.
Thanks
Don

Trial Download of Crystal Reports 11

I am attempting to download a trial of Crystal Reports 11 that a product specialist sent me. When I go to the link he sent, the product immediately starts to download - I do not have the option to "Save" or "Save As" and download the file to my desktop or other Hard Drive location.
The file appears to download successfully, then goes to the "Scanning File" step, where it hangs. The file does not appear in my downloaded files folder anywhere on my computer.
1.     I cannot save the package, so I cannot extract it. Iu2019m still trying to get the thing downloaded.
2.     If I could save it, Iu2019d save it to my desktop anyway for the purposes of testing, not to any network drive.
3.     N/A at this time due to 1. & 2. Above
4.     I am administrator/superuser for my machines
5.     I disabled all I could on our security side before attempting to connect/download
6.     I am not getting any errors, so my port 4520 is not blocked.
7.     Canu2019t get that far, so N/A
8.     This is a brand new, out of the box computer with only Win7 and IE and other base image minimums installed at this time. PLENTY of space/RAM, etc.
Basically, our end result is to PRE-test this version of Crystal Reports on our system before upgrading to the full product to ensure the reports we're dealing with will work "across the board". Our situation is one, where, 3 reports that we use only once a month but are highly critical were apparently created using Crystal Reports 8 PROFESSIONAL. All of our other daily, weekly and monthly reports that we now use were created by someone using Crystal Reports 10 STANDARD. We have been forced to run the 3 critical monthly reports from a 2004 machine that we have to VNC into which is ridiculously slow and time consuming to do. We have tried to run our CR 8 report on CR 10, but as the version is Pro and not Std, it will not run, and obviously the CR 10 reports will not run on a lower version, so we can't just load CR 8 on the (currently) 2 machines that need it.
SO, before completely committing to the "latest and greatest", we need to make sure that we are able to run ALL reports from both a Win XP machine and a Win7 machine successfully, but I cannot get the trial to download on either to do this. Both machine environments produce the same results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. We were hoping to have the trial downloaded, the reports tested, and the software purchased and in use by our March 1 report running for Month End February, but that's becoming less plausible as my attempts to get this trialed and tested are continually being stymied.
Amy

Hi Amy,
DO you still have the download link for the Crystal 11?

Crystal Reports Trial

I've recently downloaded the 30 day trial version of Crystal Reports 2011 from one of the SAP sites. During the process of obtaining the trial software you are required to register on the site. After the process is complete, I was allowed to download the software and was sent an automatic reply with a temporary key. Once completely downloaded, I followed the installation instructions and entered the provided key. Unfortunately, the key that was provided does not work. After multiple attempts I continue to get an "invalid key" error message.
Is there a way to get a new key?

Hi
If you have access to https://service.sap.com, then you can download trail key from this site.
Thanks,
