QUESTION:
I currently have a full Crystal Reports 8.5 Developer license. I would like to upgrade that to Crystal Reports XI and install it on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I see that 8.5 is not supported on Windows 2003.
Could I just buy the XI upgrade? Will that work?
ANSWER:
Yes, even though 8.5 is not supported on 2003, you should be able to install it on a 2003 machine and then run the installation for the XI upgrade. Your Crystal Reports XI upgrade should work just fine.
You should check your DEP settings, as that could be a problem when installing or running Crystal on a 2003 machine -- see KBase 2306 - PROBLEM: Crystal Reports XI does not run after installation.
