Crystal Reports 8.5 - Mad request

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I'm here for asking a "mad" question (I know that Crystal Reports 8.5 is a 10+ years old version).

A software (written in VB6) developed by the software house where I work still uses Crystal Reports 8.5 and, at the moment, I can't upgrade Crystal Reports at the last available version.

I own Crystal Reports 8.5 Developer Edition (SP0) and I need to find the Service Pack 3 installer.

I read old discussions like http://scn.sap.com/thread/1867182 (year 2011) where I found a link that contains all the available Crystal Reports downloads (included Crystal Reports 8.5 Service Packs). Nowadays this link does not provide anymore downloads for 8.5 version.

Can someone provide me the CR8.5 SP3 installer?

Waiting for your kind answer

Thanks in advance

Alex

Hi Alessandro

Just wanted to pipe in from SAP side of things. SPs for unsupported products are typically removed some time after support ends. Thus SPs for anything older that CR XI R2 are  not available from SAP. Only hope I see is that someone in the SCN community has the SP you are looking for stored somewhere on their computer and is willing to share.

Now, I did a bit of googling and found the following:

http://megaupl0ad.net/archive/crystal%20reports%208.5%20service%20pack%203

I do not know if this is a safe website or a safe download, so you've been warned... You may want to do a bit of googling and see if you find other downloads(?).

Also, note that since CR 8.5 is as old as it is, modern Operating Systems are not supported. That is not to say that it will not work, but who knows. You may want to see this post:
