I have a Crystal Reports Developer CD which came with Crystal Reports Server XI. I am trying to install this software on a new 2k3 server I just setup however, the key code which is listed on the CD cover is returning as invalid when trying to run setup for the software. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You will have to contact sales and get them to double check the keycode or issue a new one.

Hello Ludek Uher,
I have been researching for a presentation I have to give for our management next week. The topic of this presentation is migrating an internal application developed using VB6 application running on XP machines (using COM with last updated with Crystal Reports Developer XIR2) to .Net.
So a little background, I have read your document "Improving Crystal Reports Performance I Visual Studio.net Applications" and read most of the documents and website you had referenced in your document. I have also read "Crystal Reports 2008 Component Engine Scalability" document by Blair Wheadon and several other documents on Crystal Reports SDK's.
For this presentation I need to provide be prepared to answer the following questions:
Wondering if there is a document out there which I can use as a reference for my presentation. As always, really appreciate all your help in advance. I am also happy to provide additional information or post this in a different forum location if it would be helpful.
Thanks,
Ali Khan
Hi ALi
I do not have such a document, but the answer is pretty simple;
VB 6 has not been supported by MS since <google for date>
VB 6 will more than likely not work on any current Operating Systems (WIN 8, WIN 10, WIN 2012)
CR XI R2 has not been supported by SAP since 2013(?)
CR XI R2 will not work on any current Operating Systems (WIN 8, WIN 10, WIN 2012). See: Crystal Reports v. 9.1 to SAP Crystal Reports 2013, Runtime Distribution and Supported Operating Sys...
Based on the above, the risk 1: persisting with VB 6 means that eventually no apps will work.
Risk 2: Learning new APIs

We have a VB6 app developed which basically mimics CRS but its a think client. I was hoping to demo CRS to internal team for more of a show and tell/demo. I was trying to avoid getting latest version of CRS(13), I had used CRS 2008 previously and it requires a significant processing power compared to CRS XI. Anyhow moving on to plan B, request a web server to be able to host CRS 2016.
Thanks for your feedback!
