SAP Crystal Runtime 13 - free to use?

Hi,
We have a few third party systems that use SAP Crystal Runtime. What we have currently is version XI.
Just wanted to find out that if its free to upgrade to 13? Not aware of any licensing agreements we have with SAP given that we don't use any of the designer, analytics, dashboard tools. It's just really Runtime
I have tried downloading the latest version from the website below and actually tried installing and did not get prompted for any licenses or registration.
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads

Hi Kate,
You cannot simply update those older third party applications to the newer versions of our runtime. Only those creators of the application can do that.
Downloading and installing from the link you used will do nothing for those applications.
To get updates you need to contact the makers and ask them if they support version 13 runtime and they have to provide you with an update installer.
As for licensing, they are responsible to handle that part. If you want to have a look here's the link:

Portal Runtime error when modifying: com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par

Hello,
We need some help because we get 'Portal Runtime error: iView: N/A Component Name:N/A' error when trying to access portal logon screen.
This is what we've done:
We've modified com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file and we've uploaded it but it doesn't work. Because of the error, we've overwritten this file with the original one but now it's imposible to access portal.
The situation it seems to be like before the modification of the .par file but we get the same error and can't access portal.
Please, do you know what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance

Hi Belen,
Here are the steps you would need to take
1. import the original par file into the NWDS and name the project as
    com.sap.portal.runtime.logon
2. Make sure the project name is com.sap.portal.runtime.logon
3. use winzip/winrar to extract the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file in
    a local directory
4.Under the lib you would find two jar files copy them and paste them in your project
   under dist>PORTAL-INF>lib directory
5.move the files cert....till umResetPass....jsp into the PORTAL-INF directory
6. export the par to the server in question
7. restart your server
This should solve your problem..
Thanks,
Gokul

SAP Crystal Reports 2011 - Product keycode

Dear all,
I have been requested to install SAP Crystal Reports 2011 to use it as a reporting tool for our SAP ERP 6.0.
However, I got stuck when the installation program asks me for the "Product Keycode". Does anybody know if there is a temporary product keycode so we can evaluate this product before purchasing it?If so, where is it?
Once SAP Crystal Reports 2011 is successfully installed, do we need to install anything else in order to set up the connection between SAP Crystal Reports 2011 and SAP ERP 6.0?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Since someone on your site obtained CR 2011, they should also have a permanent keycode...
Failing that, the only way to get a 30 day temp eval keycode is from here;
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
But you will still have to go back to who ever obtained your current CR 2011 and ask them for a permanent keycode.
Re. Connection to SAP ERP 6.0. You're better off asking in the SAP Crystal Reports Database Connectivity|SAP Crystal Reports - Data Connectivity; forum rather than in this forum.

1st scenario
When in a runtime, it's keep appear a dialog box. This dialog box ask me to suppy Server, User ID, Password and Database. Once all information is supplied, my report display the data as expected
2nd scenario
I change my report using OLE DB (ADO) -> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server -> checked on Integrated Security. I just choose Server, and Database. I assume me using Windows Authentication
When in a runtime, there's no dialog box as above. My report display the data as expected. really cool
Look's like, when report using SQL Server Authentication there's some problem. but, when report using Windows Authentication, it's fine.
I'm looking for comment. Please help me

Hello,
MS SQL Server 2008 requires you to install the MS Client Tools for 2008.
Once install then update all of your reports to use the SQL Native 10 as the OLE DB driver.
The try again, if it still fails search, lots of sample log on code in this forum.

App won't install with the prerequisite SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine

On installing with the following prerequisite checked:
SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine for .NET Framework 4.0
.. received this error:
Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi
has changed since it was initially published.
Should I NOT use the prerequisite, and instead, use a merge module?

I ran a program with the exact same name, 2 weeks ago, on my VS 2010 Dev machine:
CRforVS_13_0.exe. (284 Meg)
Today, I followed your link, and downloaded the file with the same name, but different size: (1.5 Meg). I mean, a really major difference in size!
Because creating and testing installation packages is very time consuming, I want to verify what you have stated so that I completely understand before I change what currently works, which is for the client machine to separately install the CR runtime, to what you're proposing in including a prerequisite to my install package.
-> I should run this latest exe. It will add a prerequisite to the prerequisite list in Visual Studio 2010. The installation of this prerequisite will work, as the earlier one did not. And it will work for both 32- and 64-bit client machines.
Therefore, I can eliminate the need for the client machine to install the CR run time separately.
Please confirm, and then I will make the necessary changes, and do the install tests on client machines.
(Also, FYI the merge module did not work for me on a 32-bit client machine. So I removed it.)
Thanks, Peg

How to use the distinct key in formula field in SAP Crystal Reports

I want to use the distinct key in formula field in SAP Crystal reports.
When i'm using it shows an error.
Please suggest me....

Hi,
Use DistinctCount keyword directly for your calculation instead of count(distinct(....
Alternatively, if you want to avoid duplicate records, under "File" > "Report Options" make the 'Select Distinct Records' as True.
Thanks,
Raghavendra

Total No of pages different in report printed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8)

Currently in our application, we are using Crystal Report XI R2 for generating the reports. We are in the process of upgrading the Crystal Report to SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). I updated that on my machine and all the reports work fine. I didn't have to modify any of the reports.
However when comparing the reports, we found that there are few reports on which the total no. of pages differ from the report displayed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). Comparing the reports, it looks all the data that were fit on one page earlier with version XI R2 doesn't fit on the same page with version 13.8, thereby increasing the page counts.
The fonts, page margins everything set on report itself. Nothing being set in the code.
Both the application is using the same report that is pulling the data from the same database. Our application is a web application.
Any suggestion, why this is happening.
Thanks.
Sanjay

I am not sure what is being compared here?
CRXI R2 designer to CRVS?
CR XI R2 in some version of .NET to CRVS?
CR XI R2 using RDC SDK to CRVS?
Also, is this happening on your development computer or after you deploy?
If you compare the the "Page setup" options dialog between reports that work and those that do not work, do you see any difference?
Is this a web or a win app?
Are you seeing the same issue when viewing and exporting - say export to PDF?
What is the printer driver used and it's version?

Crystal Runtime 10.5 for Visual Studio 2008 - viewer/full version support

Hi - can reports developed in VS 2008 (CR basic 10.5) be run externally using a full or viewer version ? If so, is there a restriction on which versions can be used for this (2008 / 11 / 13 etc) and whether the version must be full vs viewer ?
The background is that we have an old asp.net 3.5 system that is being migrated from Windows 2008 / IIS 7 to Windows 2012 / IIS 8 - the app runs fine but it seems the 10.5 runtime is no longer supported. Recompilation using VS 2010 isn't an option so I was looking at client-side solutions if possible to run the reports outside of the .net app - preferably using a free viewer as the reports will not be re-designed.
I'm hoping this is a straightforward question but I've checked a few sites/forums and this isn't very clear. Grateful if someone can advise or point me to a site which clearly covers this.
Thanks.

I don't know if you are looking for a web or win viewer, but as you are mentioning servers, I assume you are looking for some sort of a web viewer(?). And there is no such thing. There is a Windows viewer:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-29774.
CR 10.5 is supported - will be until Dec. 31, 2018: SAP Crystal Products - End of Mainstream Maintenance Dates: Current Products
However there are no fixes planned. Additionally CR 10.5 does not support WIN 2012. CR 2008 (v. 12.x) is supported in VS 2008 and when updated to Service Pack 7, you will get support for WIN 2012. See SAP Crystal Reports 2008 SP7 for Windows - Supported Platforms.
So, in a nutshell; upgrade the app to CR 2008, SP 7 and all should be fine.

SAP Crystal report on Windows Server 2012

Hi,
Let me explain my situation first.
I have Windows7 dev box with VS 2010, 2012 and 2013. My application backend is Oracle 10g.
I have an old application build in VS 2005 which I migrated to Framework 4.0 from 2.0.
I downloaded CR executable from "http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_13_0_9.exe" and it worked fine locally.
But when I deployed the same code on Windows Server 2012.. reports didn't appear.
Please assist.

Well, let's get the easy one out of the way 1st
Licensing of the runtime. The runtime is free for win apps. For web apps it is also free - as long as the app is used within your organization. If the web app is used external to your org, you do need to obtain additional licensing. And for that you will have to contact sales: 866-681-3435
Now, the actual issue:
Normally, the runtime is deployed using the MSI, MSM or CLickOnce, Nothing wrong with you installing VS on the server and then CR, but I suspect you're using up a VS license for that (expensive(?)), but that is a decision for you to make. E.g.; uninstalling VS and running the CR SP 9 MSI should suffice. To actually get the viewer working, I'd like you configure the viewer as per the direction in this blog:
