Crystal Reports XI or Crystal Reports 2008

[Former Member]

I have a web application that uses Crystal Reports 8.5 on a Windows 2000 server. I want to move the application to a Windows 2003 server but Crystal 8.5 will not work on Windows 2003 sever. So which Crystal Report version should I use to convert the 8.5?

Since you are using Crystal Reports 8.5 it's a pretty safe assumption that your app is using the classic ASP(?), and the Report Designer Component, RDC(?).

That being the case, you will not be able to upgrade to CR 2008 as the RDC has been retired and does not ship anymore. The last version of Crystal Reports to ship the RDC is version XI release 2, so that is the version you'd need to move to.
