Crystal Reports and Virtual Machine

[Former Member]

Hi,

We currently are running Crystal Reports 9 on Windows, and have a project starting to upgrade our hardware plateform. We'd like to take this opportunity to upgrade our Crystal Reports to either XI or 2008 at the same time. Here are my questions that I couldn't seem to find answers from Notes and Articles. Could you please help?

1. Can Crystal Reports server XI or 2008 run on virtual machine?

2. Can Crystal Reports server XI or 2008 run on Windows 2008?

Thanks!!

Hi Anita

Answers to your questions:

1. Can Crystal Reports server XI or 2008 run on virtual machine?

Yes Crystal reports run on virtual machines.

2. Can Crystal Reports server XI or 2008 run on

Windows 2008?

Any version of Crystal reports has not been tested with Windows 2008 till date. Once it would be tested and found to be supported, it would be documented in the Supported Platforms Guide of that partcular version of Crystal Reports.

You can download the Supported platforms guide from

[here|http://help.sap.com/]

I would suggest you to run Crystal Reports on Windows 2008 virtual machine and let us also know if you face any issues.

Hope this helps!!!
