Crystal Reports 2016 and runtime

2052 Views

Hi,

I have a question and I didn't find the information in the different parts of the site/community.

I come from Crystal report 2008 + runtime 12 or 12.1, reports are generated/printed from .NET client application and I want to upgrade all my reports.

1 - Is it possible to use Crystal Reports 2016 to edit/create reports ? What about compatiblity ? I know I can try some will a trial version.

2 - What about the runtime to use with reports edited with CR 2016 ? Is it compatible with the runtime 13.0.X of CR for Visual Studio ?

3 - About maintenance/support date, in SAP Crystal Products - End of Mainstream Maintenance Dates: Current Products it is announced on Dec 31 - 2018 for SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for MS Visual Studio. What does it implies regarding the runtime ? Especially regarding my previous question about compatibility with CR 2016 (end of maintenance announced in 2020).


Thank you.
