Access denied. You cannot log on to an older version of the CMS

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am getting "Access denied. You cannot log on to an older version of the CMS." error when i try access the Universe through to Add new connect from Crystal 2008.

I have installed Business Enterprise XI R2.

Is Crystal 2008 not compatiable with BO XI R2? If so, any work around?

Thanks,

Hi,

I installed SAP Crystal Reports 2011, and installed SAP Crystal Reports Server 2008 on the same machine. I was trying to logon to Enterprise from Crystal Reports 2011, I am getting this error. "Access Denied. You cannot logon to an older version of the CMS".

Does it mean CR2011 is not compatible with CRServer 2008? Can I get this working? Please help.

Thanks

Hi Venkateswaran,

CR 2008 is not compatible with BOE XI R2. The Crystal Reports 2008 report designer is unable to log into XI Release 2 or older servers.

The functionality that depends on an enterprise session is unavailable. If you are using one of these report servers(CRS XI/XIR2 or BOE XI/XIR2), we recommend you use the Crystal Reports XI or XI Release 2 report design tool.

The corresponding server for Crystal 2008 is BO XI R3 which will support all the new functionalities present in Crystal 2008.

I hope this helps you.

Regards,

Prashant.
