Licensing Crystal Reports 2008

Post Author: xstreamy
CA Forum: Upgrading and Licensing
Hi,
Can you please explain what the correct licensing would be for a SOA application for which 1 of the services is storing PDF documents (generated by using the Crystal Reports 2008 engine) into a database. These PDF documents would be made accessible through a windows application that can be used be multiple customers.
Kind regards

You just need to fill out the following form to get redist rights:

Releasing Licenses Crystal Reports 2008

We are considering to migrate our infrastructure to Crystal Reports Server 2008. We have setup a test server with 5 CAL, and in order to make our reports work here, we had to modify our code slightly to use a different viewer (Interactive viewer is not available anymore), we had also to modify a bit our web.xml to configure a new servlet.
In our current infrastructure (Crystal Reports Enterprise 10) once we run a report via our Intranet Web application by invoking it through the Java APIs and displaying it with the crystal viewers, the licenses seem to be released even if the user still have the report in their browser's screen.
With the new Crystal reports server (Crystal Reports Server 2008) this is not happening and the licenses are released only when the timeout happens.
This doesnu2019t really work for us and we would like to reproduce the same behavior from the old version. Is there any server configuration or modification of the code that would allow me to achieve our desired behaviour on the new environment?
Thanks!

You would then be using unmanaged RAS, which, since Version XI (11.0) silently logs on to the system as the guest account and will use up a license. You do not have direct access to the session that was created, and do not have a way to log off.

Crystal Report 2008 Runtime License

Hi,
I have a Crystal Report 2008 designer license.
I want to design reports and distribute to my clients.
Clients will just execute the reports through my application with the Crystal Report 2008 Runtime.
There is runtime available on:
https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
While installing the runtime it does not ask for any license key.
my query is do we require any license to use the Crystal Report 2008 Runtime?
Can we install the same runtime on web servers so that multiple clients can use it.
Do we require any license for the Runtime on server?
Thanks,
Abhijit

Hi Thanks for the reply.
Just to make it sure is that means?
1. Crystal Report 2008 Runtime is free for the client applications.
2. Crystal Report 2008 Runtime requires the 'SAP Crystal Reports runtime server license' to use the runtime on server applications.
Is it correct.
Thanks,
Abhijit

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by tabbed reporting. Do you mean having multiple reports open at once within the Crystal Reports Designer?
If this is the case, the viewer is designed to only have one report open at a time.

Crystal Report 2008 error in generating existing reports

HI,
I have just now migrated my server from Win 2003, 32 bit to Win 2003, 64 bit. I was holding a valid license in the old server. Using the Product key and the registration number, I installed Crystal Report 2008 SP3 Build in the new server since Crystal report is supported in 64 bit version too. Now, while generating the existing reports from my application, I am getting error in event viewer as-
"The description for Event ID ( 4353 ) in Source ( Crystal Reports ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: The keycode assembly, BusinessObjects.Licensing.KeycodeDecoder.dll, cannot be loaded."
Can someone please suggest me how to resolve this error? Actually, while opening the crystal report from application, a pop-up comes as - "Internet Explorer Script error......._pe is undefined......Do you want to continue with this? " If I say Yes/No, it opens up the required page but drop down does not contain any info and 'OK' or 'CANCEL' button does not appear....
I need to solution ASAP. Please help.
Thanks
kmoondra

Crystal report is supported in 64 bit version too
Support on 64 bit OS does not necessarily mean that the product is 64 bit. E.g.; CR 2008 (12.x) is still only 32 bit. Only CRVS2010, CR 10.2 and CR 10.5 come in both 32 bit and 64 bit flavors.
If you are using 32 bit Crystal Report, make sure your app is compiled as 32 bit, not "Any CPU". If you compile as "Any CPU" the 64 bit oS will want 64 bit runtime for the app by definition. This will fail as there is no 64 bit runtime for CR 2008. E.g.; follow the advice in Don's post.

How to use CRAXDDRT.DLL in crystal report 2008?

Hello All,
We have purchased Crystal report 2008 Full software.
We need to insert BLOB field into Crystal report 2008 at runtime using *CRAXDDRT.DLL*.
How can I insert OLE object and bind it at Runtime using crystal report 2008?
Is it possible to insert Ole Object runtime using crystal report 2008? If yes how and if not is there alternative to perform this job.
Please let me know your feedback.
Thanks

CrxDDrt.dll is only provided in order for the Crystal Reports designer in the .NET IDE.
1) You are not licensed to use this CraxDDrt.dll
2) Even if you were, in previous versions of CR, there were licensing implications to using the craxDDrt.dll (read $$)
3) Once your project would be done, using CR 2008, you would not be able to distribute the runtime as there is no CR MSM or MSI that contains the craxDDrt.dll and it's supporting runtime.
In your original post you say:
"I need to show Word and Pdf file in to Crystal report 2008 using CRAXDDRT.DLL";
I do not understand why you'd need to do this using the craxddrt.dll? You should be able to insert a BLOB field using the RAS SDK for .NET and CR 2008. Now, one hting you will have to keep in mind. If you insert a multipage .doc or .pdf file into the report, you will only get the first page of that document. I suggest you try this in the CR designer first. Always remember that if you can not do a certain thing in the designer, you will not be able to do it at runtime either. Giving all the limitations above, if you are still interested in doing this using RAS, let me know and I'll set you up with some resources to get you going.

Crystal Reports 2008 - CR Runtime 12 issue

We are developing our applications using VS 2008 and I also install the Crystal Reports 2008 developer edition. My project references all DLL's from Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (BusinessObjects\Common\4.0\Managed\dotnet2) to display CR reports in our GUI.
However, I run into following problems when we walk through the assembly dependencies (our code traverse the dependency tree):
- The dependency on BusinessObjects.Enterprise.Sdk, Version=12.0.1100.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304 cannot be found, which is referenced by CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework
- Some dll are reported to be using .NET 1.1 runtime (e.g. "BusinessObjects.Licensing.KeycodeDecoder.dll v1.1.4322").
Where could I find the missing dependencies?
We are targeting customer installing on .NET 2.0 framework. How could we get around those v1.1.4322 dependencies (through I believe that the Crystal Reports Runtime 12 might install those into our clients)
Thanks
Sai-Kit

First, I never DIRECTLY reference those .NET 1.1 DLL's in my project.
- understood and expected
The CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll however will try to load them as dependencies when my application is run. There is no way not to referencing CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll.
- no the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll ; will not try to load those assemblies. You can remove those assemblies from GAC. Your app will work just fine. I recommend you try this once you have removed the assemblies from your project..
We need to deploy the application to our customer. If they only install .NET 2.0, they will ask why .NET 1.1 dll are installed into their computer (of course, as part of CR 12 runtime instead of our application). Also, why CR 10.5 is .NET 1.1 clean and CR 12 goes back to .NET 1.1??? My customer will have that concern after their upgrade.
- As I mentioned twice now. The CR runtime (msm and / or msi files) do not install those assemblies. So your customer will not even get them installed. I recommend you try the install on a clean computer to see what actually gets installed.

Crystal Reports 2008 Setup Has Failed

Post Author: MWheeler
CA Forum: Upgrading and Licensing
I get a setup error as soon as I hit "install" on the English upgrade to 2008 on my Windows Xp Sp2 machine. I am running XI developer edition on this machine. The Window title for the error message is "Crystal Reports 2008 Setup Error" and the text is "Crystal Reports 2008 Setup has failed. If this continues contact http:
support.businessobjects.com". I tried to open a Support case on this, but the Create a Case screen didn't have anyplace to enter any data at all and ended up just timing out.

I have got the same error message.
I was unable to uninstall the program from the control panel.
Try to install Windows Installer CleanUp software, and uninstall with this program the previous version on Crystal Reports.

Crystal Reports 2008 - automation and scheduling

Hey there Crystal Reports experts... please answer this question:
I've been evaluating the Crystal Reports 2008 package (client package) and have been able to generate some nice summary reports form our SQL database using summary pages which have multiple (up to 4) embedded sub-reports in them. I think it's doing what I need it to, but my next hurdle is to automate the summary report for 100+ different customers of ours. The criteria which changes for each customer is a table value in each subreport as well as the date range for the data on the report. I also need to have the title in the report header of each customer, change to reflect the different customer name and date range.
Is there a way to automate this with the standard Crystal Reports 2008 version? I've found a few 3rd party applications online that take care of the Crystal Report automation and scheduling as well as conditional data selection at the same time... is that what I need to use if we don't have ther server version of Crystal, or can I automate it using just the standard 2008 client version??

Hi,
Yes, you need the CR 2008 client license to create the reports and then the server license to distribute the reports.
CR Server 2008 is a single server reporting solution for distributing Crystal Reports only. BOE is a full BI server that can be scaled beyond a single server solution. In addition to just reporting it has other capabilities such as ad hoc query and analysis, dashboarding/scorecarding, etc.
CR Server 2008 currently does not include the "Publishing" functionality yet. Therefore, if you schedule the report to email, all users will see the exact same report. BOE XI 3.1 does have "Publishing" which lets you burst the report so that through a single schedule, each user only sees their slice of the data for that report. You can still use CR Server to accomplish something similar, but it would require you to setup an individual schedule per every customer where each schedule is configured to only return the appropriate data for that customer. This would require a little more effort to setup and maintain.

Hi Michelle,
Older versions of CR would allow you to run CR from a network share point but you still had to have a license for each user. Current versions of CR do not allow you to do this any more, possibly using a Citrix or Terminal Server would allow this but you still need a license for each user. Older versions had a Network install option.
And as suggested exporting to PDF or some other format is fine for end users viewing your output. They are not using CR but Adobe Reader or Word etc. to view the reports, they just can't use the Designer to view the reports.
Hope this is clear now?
Thank you
Don

Crystal Report 2008 Deployment - Delphi 2007 application

Hi,
I have got Crystal Report 2008 and developed some reports using them.
I had integrated these reports with a Delphi 2007 application. My application works fine on my box where I have installed CR2008.
Please note - the previous version of Crystal report i used with my application was 5.
I also identified CR_runtime 2008- most of the dll's inside win32_x86 directory and tried to package and created installer of my application. I deployed my application on another box and what I noticed is it gives me OpenEngine error. Copying required dll's doesn't solves problem as I feel there is a need for registry variables too, but not sure of how to go about it.
Is it that I need CR208 , the whole Business objects installed on all deploymnet boxes? If then i need to get licensed copies?
Or is it ok I can download just the CR2008 runtime and install on the deployment boxes.
My application is a standalone application and it just uses to view the reports already created- picking values from the database.
Can I use CR_runtime installer - free trial and deploy on the other boxes and use my application so to view the already created reports.
Please help - I am stuck as how to package my application so users can view the report.
Thanks in Advance,
Shruthi

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks so much... for the reply .
I had downloaded CR runtime - msi file and tried for deployment on my deployment box. But it asks for the product key while installing.
If I had to do this on all of my customer boxes, then can I use the same product key/license code? or the free time trial version - license code that comes with a CR runtime trial setup.
Or should I purchase license for deploying the runtime or msi to all boxes?
Please let me know what should I do......
Thanks in advance,

Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and BO XI 3.1 conflict

Hi every body,
We have a BOE system:
BO XI 3.1
Oracle db 10g
All running successful and can create some types of WebI report.
But we also want reports with Crystal Report.
1> So we install Crystal Report 2008 SP3 (without knowing the conflict error between BO XI 3.1 and Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and overwrite some .dll file). After installing, we can not create WebI report any more. And a error message box display: "DBDriver failed to load: C:\Program File\Business Objects\BusinessObjects ENterprise12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll ".
2> We uninstall Crystal Report SP3. But this is not the solution. Still error because of missing .dll files.
3> We open BO XI 3.1 setup and repair BO XI 3.1. Even we uninstall BO XI 3.1, delete all of its components and delete in regedit key. We install BO XI 3.1 again. Now we have full .dll file, not missing them any more. But when we open universe and click on Table browser, cannot fetching any tables.
We set rights for Oracle DB user again. But still error: cannot fetching.
4> We searched the solution for this problem on the internet. But not worked, no answer.
Can somebody help me bring back the BOE system state again ? pls :"<

Hi Paul,
I hope I read your question right!
Yes, It is possible to run XIR2 and 3.1 on the same server although it's not recommended by BO. You will need to make sure they are both pointing to different CMS databases and different FRS repositories, like you already mentioned you will need to specify different ports for the CMS db and Tomcat.
Why not uninstall Business Objects XI R2 in your BO development environment or a spare server (if you have one), and do a clean install of XI 3.1 SP3.
Tip: If you were already having performance issues with your XI R2 environment, I would seriously consider upgrading the hardware. XI 3.1 needs a bit more RAM and CPU than XI R2
