* SAP Crystal Reports 2016, (32-Bit) Named User License: This desktop on- premise product is sold on a Named User License basis; one unique license is required for each person using the software. That individual as the Named User License holder may install the software to any number of computers (including concurrently), any number of times for their exclusive use with a valid, non-expiring license code; a Named User License cannot be shared with another individual.

SAP Crystal Server 2020 has two types of license: Named User (user) and Concurrent Sessions (CS). Licensing determines access to the interfaces where documents are shared, and available for viewing: BI Launch Pad, SAP Mobile BI app.

---

* The SAP Crystal Server (user) license includes 1 named user license of SAP Crystal Server 2020 and 1 license of SAP Crystal Reports 2020. It also comes with support for mobile access on iOS devices. The user license allows usage by a single, specific individual user only. Test and Development licenses are included in your purchase and you can run these if you have active Production Licenses.

Included with the software download options for SAP Crystal Server (user) is another edition of report designer, SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise. An individual who is a license holder of SAP Crystal Reports can use their SAP Crystal Reports keycode to install the corresponding version software for SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise.

---

* The SAP Crystal Server (CS) license includes 5 concurrent users, which means that only 5 users can access the environment at the same time. SAP Crystal Server (user) is a prerequisite for SAP Crystal Server (CS). After that, the customer can purchase blocks of 5 concurrent sessions. Test and Development licenses are included in your purchase and you can run these if you have active Production Licenses.

---

Important note: Only SAP Crystal Server 2020 (CS) includes Automated Publishing, a feature where the data in a report is unique for each recipient (such as invoices and statements). Automated Publishing can be used for an unlimited number of unique recipients.

Attached you will find a summary comparison table between SAP Crystal Reports 2020, SAP Crystal Server 2020 (user) and SAP Crystal Server 2020 (CS): https://d.dam.sap.com/a/TTrwZZa/SAP-Crystal-Solutions-Feature-2020-comparison-table.pdf?rc=10

Here is the full comparison by version: https://d.dam.sap.com/m/urTD5S8

SAP Crystal Server supports combinations of Named User License (user) and Concurrent Sessions License (CS). This table describes the benefits and drawbacks of each license type.

---

---

For many customers, a combination of user and CS licenses is appropriate depending on the mix of user types. CS licenses is best for casual reporting users, while user licenses are best for managers, executives, and analysts needing dedicated access. SAP Crystal Server deployments are limited to a single server and both user and CS licenses can be combined in any way. When adding new licenses to an existing system, the new licenses are additive. The total number of licenses available for a single deployment is the sum of the licenses in all installed key codes.

SAP Crystal Reports 2020 and SAP Crystal Reports 2016 deployments require 1 user as a minimum. There is no maximum numbers of users. SAP Crystal Reports 2020 and SAP Crystal Reports 2016 are sold in increments of 1.

SAP Crystal Server 2020 deployments require 1 user as a minimum. Purchased separately from user, CS is added to a user deployment. SAP Crystal Server 2020 (user) can be added together up to a maximum of 100 (users). SAP Crystal Server 2020 CS is sold in increments of 5 and can be scaled up to 50 CS.

Customer use cases show that if you buy SAP Crystal Server 5 CS you can typically handle up to 20 users with 5 having access at the same time.

Workstations with a version of SAP Crystal Reports installed will have the following keys in the registry. You can use these keys with an automated software inventory tool to count the number of licenses in use.

Log into the Central Management Console (CMC) under the Admin account, in the upper right area under Manage, and select "License Keys". This will show you now many Named Users and / or Concurrent Users you have.
If you want to see how many users are logged and who is logged, go back to the upper right area under Manage, and select "Sessions".

Check the following blog post: https://blogs.sap.com/2023/09/17/moving-from-crystal-reports-for-enterprise-to-crystal-reports/

SAP Crystal Reports can be accessed through Citrix terminal servers or Microsoft Remote Desktop, but the number of named user licenses purchased must equal the number of individuals that have access to the software. Client applications that are accessed via terminal servers are considered server applications for the purposes of determining redistribution right. Each individual user using SAP Crystal Reports Client thru Citrix will require a named copy of SAP Crystal Reports. If a customer buys SAP Crystal Server they will need the equal amount of named user licenses.

End of mainstream Maintenance and Priority one Support dates can be found here: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/SAP+Crystal+Products+-+End+of+Mainstream+Maintenance+Dates

After the end of mainstream maintenance, SAP offers priority-one support for selected releases of the former SAP BusinessObjects portfolio and SAP Predictive Analytics.
---
Availability
Priority-one support is an optional offering that gives customers more flexibility in deciding on the right time for an upgrade. Priority-one support does not require an additional payment or a specific maintenance addendum. Depending on the type of the customer's support contract, the switch to priority-one support will occur during the renewal period or the customer will receive priority-one support by default if continuing to run a release during its priority-one support period.
---
Scope
During priority-one support, customers can continue to create cases as per the standard process. The normal service and support tools (for example, SAP Support Portal and SAP Solution Manager) and the SAP Customer Interaction Center/Support Advisory Center continue to be fully available. Product Support will accept and analyze problem cases with all priorities. This includes the 7x24h support for cases with "very high" priority however, the SAP Enterprise Support service level agreements are no longer delivered.
---
The reported case will be analyzed:

* if the software error is already known, an SAP Note has been released for customers which documents the problem exists for the relevant release. Then the already known solution will be made available to the customer.

* if the error is not known yet, no SAP Note documenting the problem with a corresponding solution has been released for customers for the relevant release, and therefore the error is regarded as a new, as yet unknown error. In this case, further processing is performed only for cases with "very high" priority.

SAP Crystal follows the same maintenance schedule as SAP BusinessObjects. The full schedule can be found here: https://support.sap.com/content/dam/support/en_us/library/ssp/release-upgrade-maintenance/maintenance-information/schedules-for-maintenance-deliveries/SBOPschedule.pdf

The detailled list can be downloaded here: https://assets.cdn.sap.com/tools/sap-cr-2020-supported-platforms-windows.zip

Notes: SAP Crystal Reports 2020 is offered as a 64-bit native binary. It requires 64-bit data source middleware connectivity on all operating systems.

SAP Crystal Reports 2020 uses the 64-bit ODBC registry on all versions of Windows. To administer 64-bit ODBC DSNs on 64-bit versions of Windows, run the 64-bit ODBC Administrator, located here: C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe

The export formats supported by SAP Crystal Reports can be broadly categorized in two groups: page-based formats and record-based formats. Find more details here: https://d.dam.sap.com/a/QX9jsRH/SAP-Crystal-Solutions-2020-Export-Format-types.pdf?rc=10

Yes, SAP Crystal Reports 2020 is a 64-bit native application. All other previous versions of SAP Crystal Reports available through the SAP Store are 32-bit applications.

Yes. You can open reports created with earlier versions, such as SAP Crystal Reports 9 and higher with the later versions, such as SAP Crystal Reports 2020. Any changes or new reports you create with SAP Crystal Reports 2020, can only be saved as a version 14.3 .rpt file. It is also worth noting that data connections will need to updated to use 64-bit data connections.

It is recommended to migrate the report to be the same version as Crystal Server. Do this by opening the .rpt file with SAP Crystal Reports 2020, updating the data connection to 64-bit, then save. The report will save as a 14.3 version .rpt file. You may want to ‘Save As’ and rename the copy to archive the document in the original, older version until all content has been migrated to your satisfaction.

Maybe. If your application uses an SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine of version 13, then you can probably use SAP Crystal Reports 2020 for report design with updated 64-bit data connections. If your application uses an earlier version of SAP Crystal Reports runtime, then it is recommended to use the same version of SAP Crystal Reports as the designer to match for compatibility. It is best to check with the developer of the application for their recommendation.

It is recommended you use SAP Crystal Reports 2016 to create/modify reports run through SAP Crystal Server 2016, especially because SAP Crystal Reports 2020 uses 64-bit data connections, previous versions of SAP Crystal Reports are 32-bit applications.

TLS 1.0 is supported with SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform 4.0, 4.1

TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 is supported with Tomcat 8, which means it is supported with SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform 4.2 SP04 onwards & 4.3 (all patch levels)

SAP Store is setup for direct business only when purchasing SAP Crystal Solutions. An indirect sales model is not supported when purchasing SAP Crystal Solutions on SAP Store today. This means that the organization buying the SAP Crystal Solutions on SAP Store is always the organization using and the organization paying.

Yes. If you are purchasing on behalf of a user who is eligible to SAP Crystal Reports 2020 as an upgrade, you may forward the acquired license key and download link for them to install with.

Please get in touch with the SAP Store team to update your organization’s profile and access with the necessary information: store.admin@sap.com

Yes, you can assign the Named User License to someone else to become the licensed user. There is no need to inform SAP of the change, but you will need to remove the software and license from the original license holder’s computer to install to the new user’s computer to ensure license compliance.

Yes. There is no need to surrender the use of the old license of SAP Crystal Reports; you may still use the software and license for the older version at the same time as SAP Crystal Reports 2020 as an upgrade, but you are still under the Named User License for both versions. You may not reassign the license of the new version to someone else if you purchased with the upgrade discount.

Yes. For users of SAP Crystal Reports 2011, SAP Crystal Reports 2013, the software for these earlier versions will need to be uninstalled before SAP Crystal Reports 2020 is installed to the same computer.

For SAP Crystal Reports 2016 there is no need to uninstall, as SAP Crystal Reports 2016 will be upgraded to SAP Crystal Reports 2020. SAP Crystal Reports 2016 and SAP Crystal Reports 2020 cannot be installed side by side on the same computer.

Also keep in mind that SAP Crystal Reports 2016 is 32-bit and SAP Crystal Reports 2020 is 64-bit.

No. SAP Crystal Reports 2020 purchased as an upgrade installs as a new application and will require only an SAP Crystal Reports 2020 keycode to complete the installation.

No. As the named user license holder of an older version, you cannot reassign the upgrade license to a different end user. The new user will need to buy their own, full license of SAP Crystal Reports 2020.

No, you would not be eligible to purchase SAP Crystal Reports 2020 as an upgrade from an application which uses an SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine; a new license of SAP Crystal Reports would be needed for report design.

NOTE: Legacy applications which use a SAP Crystal Reports runtime earlier than version 13 may require you to continue to use your older version of SAP Crystal Reports for creating and modifying reports run through that application. Check with your vendor/developer on your application’s compatibility with version 14.3 report files saved by SAP Crystal Reports 2020.

Test and Development licenses are included in your purchases of SAP Crystal Reports and SAP Crystal Server and you can run these if you have active Production Licenses.

If you have purchased only one license, then you are allowed only one instance in production (the rest can be non-production, such as Dev, Test, Quality Assurance, etc.).

If you need multiple instances in production, then each instance requires a separate, paid license. If SAP Crystal Server is installed to multiple virtual machines (even if on the same physical server), then each virtual machine will require their own production license.

Yes, probably. Report files created with SAP Crystal Reports version 9 and higher should work the same with SAP Crystal Reports 2020.

The process to migrate an older version report file (.rpt) is to open the file with SAP Crystal Reports 2020 (choose File>Open, rather than double-clicking the file in Windows Explorer), update the data connection to use a 64-bit connection, then Save.

The report will save as a SAP Crystal Reports 2020 (version 14.3) .rpt file. You cannot ‘Save As’ with SAP Crystal Reports to save a version other than the version in use.

Consider renaming the file before you save it with SAP Crystal Reports 2020 to retain an original in case that earlier version is still needed.

You can upgrade your licenses of SAP Crystal Server under your maintenance agreement through the SAP Support Portal / SAP for Me (S-User login required). The license type and quantity, as well as the functionality, of your maintained version is preserved when you upgrade to the latest version. Any new features of the new version, such as bundled copy of SAP Crystal Reports 2020 (user) or unlimited publishing and mobile access for CS, are not included (except for SAP Crystal Server 2016 (user); a purchase will be required to attain new features of SAP Crystal Server 2020. For details refer to the tables on pages 14 and 15 of the Crystal Solutions licensing document, or read this summary blog: https://blogs.sap.com/2020/04/26/sap-crystal-server-2013-2016-important-product-information/.

The SAP BusinessObjects upgrade guide has the upgrade path(s) to upgrade older versions to higher versions and applies to Crystal Server versions as well, however, a modified upgrade path diagram with Crystal server versions is provided below for your convenience.

Here is the link: https://me.sap.com/notes/3469735

1. Firstly you will need to upgrade (or migrate the content) to at least SAP Crystal Server 2008 (Equivalent to SAP BOE XI 3.1)

   • Refer to Crystal 2008 / BOE XI 3.1 upgrade guide in SAP Help portal.

   • For upgrade purposes, an in-place upgrade is recommended on a single system to keep things simple. 

2. Once you have older system at desired 2008 version level, setup a brand new Crystal Server 2016 SP09 with latest patches (Equivalent to BI 4.2 SP09 latest patch) on a different server. Note: You can download a trial version here: https://www.sap.com/products/technology-platform/crystal-server.html#try-now

3. Run the upgrade management tool from the newly setup Crystal Server 2016 SP09 system (Step 2) to upgrade all content from Source in step 1. 

   • Refer to Crystal Server 2016 / BI Platform 4.2 upgrade guide in SAP Help portal

   • SAP BI platform / Crystal Server Upgrade Best Practices with UMT Tool are available in SAP KBA  1904814 - Best practices for Upgrade / migration to BI 4.x (UMT) 

4. Once content is upgraded or migrated, then upgrade the target system to Crystal Server 2020 SP04 (the latest patch or the desired patch level) [which is equivalent to BI 4.3 SP04 latest patches).

Note: 

• Here are general SAP BI platform / Crystal Server Installation or update best practices & prerequisites: Windows | Unix | SP/patches

For customers of older versions of Crystal Server not under maintenance, SAP Crystal Server 2020 (user) is a new license type and has no upgrade path from previous Named User License deployments. There is no upgrade option for SAP Crystal Server 2013 (CS); the purchase of new licenses is required.

After January 01, 2020 customers using SAP Crystal Reports 8.5 may experience a critical error running reports. The cause is related to the incorrect processing of dates. There will be no software update issued from SAP to fix this issue with SAP Crystal Reports 8.5. SAP recommends customers consider upgrading to SAP Crystal Reports 2020, available for a free 30-day trial. Register for the trial: https://www.sap.com/products/technology-platform/crystal-reports.html#try-now

SAP Crystal Reports Installation Instructions (simplified): https://blogs.sap.com/?p=137952
Knowledge Base article: KBA 1638102 - Installation Best Practices for Crystal Reports

The most common installation errors are solved by https://me.sap.com/notes/1638102”, which states;  

1. Download the right version of Crystal Reports.
2. Extract the installation package on the local computer.
3. Disable the Antivirus software temporarily.
4. Ensure port 4520 is open, if you have a Firewall.
5. Ensure there is enough disk space to install Crystal Reports.
6. Get the Installation keycode for Crystal Reports.
7. Install Crystal Reports as an Administrator of the local computer.

If your download does not match the files in that instruction, please initiate a chat with sales@sap.com, or contact your vendor.

If you had a previous version of SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence installed on the machine where you try to install a new version of SAP Crystal Reports you might get an error message during the install or at first launch. To fix that issue please check this Knowledge Base article: https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/1691555

You can perform all the maintenance operations (Modify, Repair and Remove) remotely like it was already possible for Installation and Update by using the same command lines “-w” and “-r” along with the response file.

More details on how to do this are provided here: https://blogs.sap.com/2020/06/13/silent-installation-enhancements-introduced-in-bi-4.3/

It could be that security software installed on your machine is preventing file copying.

SAP Crystal Report runtime is free for internal use, and as for what version you run, we strongly suggest using the latest version to ensure compatibility. Make sure your version of CR matches your version of Visual Studio or if the application is JAVA based use the version for Eclipse.

1. In SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio, the report engine is embedded in the application. This embedded report engine is limited to a maximum of three simultaneous user requests. This is not an arbitrary licensing limit; it is a limitation of the embedded report engine architecture.

2. Report engine is extracted into a separate report server process. In the solution that uses the unmanaged Report Application Server (RAS), the report engine is extracted into a separate server process. That server process can run on the same machine or be placed on separate physical hardware, to increase performance by offloading processing from your application server. An unmanaged RAS server is no longer available as an upgrade option. It is recommended that you upgrade to SAP Crystal Server instead. For more information, see SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence reporting solutions.

3. The separate report server process is encapsulated into a complete platform architecture. In the SAP Crystal Server or SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform solution, an entire platform architecture is added, which encapsulates the separate report server process (RAS). The managed Report Application Server (RAS) becomes only one server, among many other servers in the platform architecture. This architecture provides a rich set of additional features, such as scheduling, load balancing, fail-over, and both vertical and horizontal scalability.

Yes. The downloads of the SDK and the runtime software are free. The runtime license for an internally developed and internally deployed application is also free for desktop (thick) or server (thin) client deployments.

Yes, if a contractor developed a one-off application for your company exclusively, this counts as an internal deployment.

Yes, the SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio runtime is free for thick client applications for external deployments, including for commercial use.

If you develop an application which uses the SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio or SAP Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime engine in a server-based application deployed to your external customers’ server(s), then each customer will need a license of SAP Crystal Reports 2020 (or SAP Crystal Reports 2016, SAP Crystal Reports 2013 or SAP Crystal Reports 2011) for the required runtime license.

This section describes the rules that govern redistribution of software that embeds the SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine, embeddable report designer, or uses the Report Creation APIs.

---

SAP Crystal Reports 2020, SAP Crystal Reports 2016, SAP Crystal Reports 2013, and SAP Crystal Reports 2011 do not include a runtime engine; they each provide a developer license (see table below). Customers are directed to use the free SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio or SAP Crystal Reports for Eclipse Software Development Kits (SDKs) for embedding reports into applications.
---

The runtime versions can be downloaded here:

https://www.sap.com/products/technology-platform/crystal-reports.html#visual-studio
https://www.sap.com/products/technology-platform/crystal-reports.html#eclipse

---

This table applies to:

.NET applications that include the SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio runtime engine.

JAVA applications that include the SAP Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime engine.

Definition of Client Application: The runtime engine is installed on the client machine.  All report processing is local to that machine.

Definition of Server Application: The runtime engine is integrated in a way that allows more than one user to access the engine either directly or indirectly. Client applications installed using Windows terminal servers (like Citrix or Microsoft Remote Desktop) are considered server applications.
---
Note that for the paid category, the customer should, for compatibility reasons, buy a copy of SAP Crystal Reports that matches the runtime engine embedded into the application.
---
It is the responsibility of the developer to ensure their application is properly licensed before it is redistributed. Developers cannot distribute applications on the assumption that the application user will acquire the proper licenses.

.NET Core 5 or .NET 5 (or 6, 7, 8, 9) is the next major release of .NET Core 3.1. Microsoft named this new release .NET 5 instead of .NET Core 4 to avoid confusion with the .NET Framework 4.x.
---
SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio depends on a lot of .NET Framework-specific features. There are NO plans to update to Framework higher than 4.8, at this point. The reason being SAP Crystal Reports was built using C++, the Framework is a wrapper around the base Windows DLL structures. SAP Crystal Reports used multiple COM components as well, still based on C++ source. The reason being SAP Crystal Reports and SAP Business Object Enterprise, SAP's ERP software, are all based on the same source C++ code and API's. So don't use those CORE versions if you want to continue using SAP Crystal Reports.
---
The .NET Framework 4.x is still supported by Microsoft.
---
Another option is to save your reports in SAP Crystal Server, standalone version of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise: https://www.sap.com/products/technology-platform/crystal-server.html  Publish your reports to the Server and use RESTful or OpenDocument URL to access the report. SAP Crystal Server will process the report generation and send an EPF image file of each page to the user.

See the SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio Supported Platforms:
https://www.sap.com/documents/2016/06/f871031e-757c-0010-82c7-eda71af511fa.html

We offer SDKs and runtime for .NET and Java only.

Up until SAP Crystal Reports 2008 (version 12), there were three different editions of SAP Crystal Reports available: Standard, Professional and Developer. All three editions function as fully-featured designers and also use the same software; keycodes determine the type of license and unlock the software accordingly:

* Standard = only connects to Excel and Access data sources

* Professional = same as above, also unrestricted data connectivity

* Developer = same as above, also runtime license

In summary, there is no runtime licensing with any editions other than SAP Crystal Reports Developer. There is only one edition of SAP Crystal Reports 2008, SAP Crystal Reports 2011, SAP Crystal Reports 2013, SAP Crystal Reports 2016, and SAP Crystal Reports 2020 – they are all Developer editions. SAP Crystal Reports 2008 (version 12) and earlier included the SDK software with the report designer. For SAP Crystal Reports 2011 (version 14.0) and higher the SAP Crystal Reports Software Development Kits (SDKs) and runtime are available as free, separate downloads for SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio and SAP Crystal Reports for Eclipse.

SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio and SAP Crystal Reports for Eclipse share the designation of version 13 of the SAP Crystal Reports product family. These are tools available for developers to create basic reports and to embed a SAP Crystal Reports engine to run report files (.rpt format) in an application they have developed using an SAP Crystal Reports software development kit (SDK). The version numbering for these free downloads of the SDK and runtime are version 13.

The version of Visual Studio might be the issue here. Plugins are only supported in Visual Studio Professional and higher versions.
Visual Studio Community does support plug-ins, that should be changed to Visual Studio Express.

There are many reasons that may cause SAP Crystal Reports to crash, to close or to stop working, like:

Exporting, Connecting to a relational data source, Connecting to a Universe, Printing, Connecting to the SAP BI Server, Parameter prompt, Report design issue with subreport, Content specific, Performing Specific Action, ...

When you have the report open in SAP Crystal Reports, navigate through this menu path: Report / Performance Information / Report Definition. The 'File Format Schema' shows the version number. SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio is version 13.x, Visual Studio 2008 is 10.5, Visual Studio 2005 is 10.2.

To view the content of a .RPT file, you can download SAP Crystal Reports Viewer 2020 or SAP Crystal Reports Viewer 2016 here: https://www.sap.com/cmp/td/sap-crystal-reports-viewer-trial.html

=> This is a free version that you can download and install as many times as you want.

Users could export their report to .RPTR format, which can only be opened in SAP Crystal Reports Viewer (can’t be opened in SAP Crystal Reports).
---
Or using an Application developed using one of our .NET, Java or RESTful SDK’s, you can view RPTR reports.

When you build a query, SAP Crystal Reports automatically generates the SQL (Structured Query Language) that corresponds to the query and saves it as a Crystal SQL Command object. The SQL statement generated by SAP Crystal Reports cannot be edited, but it can be viewed. In the Query Panel, click View SQL. The SQL dialog box appears. It contains the SQL that constitutes your query. Use this option when you want to check the SQL as you create a query.

You can create your own SQL query by using the tool “SAP Crystal SQL Designer”. There you can insert your own SQL statement. It will be saved as a .qry file. To use it in a report, select the “Crystal SQL Statement” button instead of using the “Database” button. To maintain optimum report processing speeds, avoid using formulas (whether Crystal or Basic syntax) within record selection formulas. Instead, replace the original formula with an equivalent SQL Expression field, and then incorporate the SQL Expression field into your record selection formula.

As announced in the SAP BusinessObjects addendum to Statement of Direction (Feb 2021), we plan to stop supporting SAP Crystal Reports 2020 services on Linux and Unix operating systems from version BI 4.3 SP2 on (Q4 2021), to remove dependency of the 3rd party component that simulates Windows API on Linux and Unix. SAP Crystal Reports 2020 reports are still fully supported, by distributing SAP Crystal Reports 2020 (CR 2020) services in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) platform to a Windows server. More details here: https://blogs.sap.com/2021/01/28/how-to-distribute-sap-crystal-reports-2020-services-to-a-windows-server/

The product may cause issues for the new installation, if the previous product is not uninstalled completely. Here is the procedure to follow: https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/1691555

There can be different origins for the issue and you will need to check them step by step.
---
First element to check (if the issue occurs when launching or when installing SAP Crystal Reports):
Launch SAP Crystal Reports (or installation file) by right-clicking and select "Run as Administrator". The keycode validation process needs to write-back some files on your local machine. Also you will need to ensure that no third-party software (like anti-virus, priviledge management software, ...) is blocking the write-back process.
---
Second element to check (if the issue occurs during the installation):
You can try this workaround that will bypass the keycode validation when installing the product, but will still prompt for a valid keycode at runtime.            
* Rename IsKeyCodeValid.exe to IsKeyCodeValid.old at the following location of the Installation package: ...\dunit\product.crystalreports-4.0-core-32\actions

Note: The path will be different depending on the version and product update.
* Extract attached IsKeyCodeValid.exe, and copy it to the same location as above.
* Start the installation again.    
---   
Third element to check (if you are trying to install SAP Crystal Reports on non-english version of MS Windows):
To be able to install SAP Crystal Reports on Microsoft Windows other than English.

1. Manually create the following folder on the computer where you are installing Crystal Reports: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects

2. Install Crystal Reports, and when prompted in which directory to install the product, select the folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects

In SAP Crystal Server 2020, this can be done using the "Instances" tile in BI Launchpad. Once the instances display you can click on the arrow pointing down (in the top right menu) to download.

In SAP Crystal Server 2016, this can be done in BI Launchpad using the "Schedule" tab. You can then filter the Status column. However an export is not possible in this version.

The End of Life (EOL) for Adobe Flash Player was effective on January 12th 2021. As a consequence of this:

- SAP will stop shipping and supporting SAP BusinessObjects Explorer starting with the releases 4.2 SP09 & 4.3. This is also the case for SAP Crystal Server 2020 and SAP Crystal Reports 2016 SP9

- SAP will stop supporting SAP BusinessObjects Explorer when Adobe stops supporting the Adobe Flash Player.

- After this date, customers can continue to use SAP BusinessObjects Explorer however they may need to check the support strategy of their internet browsers for flash technology.

- SAP Analytics Cloud will be replacing SAP BusinessObjects Explorer use cases. Learn more about SAP Analytics Cloud BI here: https://www.sap.com/products/cloud-analytics.html
