Product Line
TAC INET
Environment
SevenReports (Crystal Reports) with I/NET 2.41 and higher
Cause
I/NET will no longer have the "Crystal Reports" Modify and Design license after May 2012. After 2.41 you must buy a separate CD for this function.
Upgrades are not affected by this change. Any SAP Crystal Reports licenses used at existing installations will remain active after an upgrade.
Resolution
RDC version will no longer be supplied on the I/Net CD.
The NON_RDC version will still allow reports to be Viewed and Printed, as always. Modifying a "Canned" report or designing a "New" report will be impossible unless the new RDC version is installed.
This removal of the Crystal report function will start with I/Net Seven rev 2.41A and beyond.
To receive the Crystal Reports application files and license certificate, the SEVEN-REPORTS-RDC part will need to be ordered in addition to the standard I/NET SEVEN software part for each workstation requiring SAP Crystal Reports. Refer to Unable to install the RDC version for additional information and a copy of the necessary software for upgrading and installing this software.
Upgrades (from I/NET Seven Version 2.21 and above) are unaffected by this change. Any SAP Crystal Reports licenses in use at existing installations will still be active after an upgrade as long as you perform an upgrade of the existing I/NET installation. If you perform a clean install, so you have uninstalled the previous version of I/NET, you will lose this licensing.
