Crystal Reports 2013 - Report Creation API license

[Former Member]

Hi,

SAP support advised me to come here for help as they "cannot recognize the issue". Hoping someone here can.

A client of ours is unable to link any new reports from Clear Enterprise to Crystal Reports 2013, previously not a problem via Crystal Reports 2010.

The attached error specifies the system does not have a valid Report Creation API license. The other attachment seems to verify this statement.

We have been told by our licensing vendors and SAP support that they are unable to help us. Can anyone here please help?

Thanks,

Aaron

The Report Creation API is no longer available - the last version of the SDK that it was available for was, I believe, XI (11).  So, if this is software that you've created, then you're not going to be able to provide report design capabilities in it and you'll have to rewrite it to use the new .NET SDK that is available from here:  .  Note that this is NOT compatible with earlier versions of the SDK so you cannot just install it and expect programs that have been written with the earlier SDK to work with it.

If this is software that you've purchased, then you'll have to contact the folks who supplied it for support.  Since we don't know how they've implemented the SDK, we have no way of assisting you with it.

Hi Aaron,

Moved to SDK forum.

Who created/wrote Clear Enterprise software?

And what version of runtime is it using?

What version of Crystal Reports Designer are you using?
