IPv6 support in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio

[fabian-eisenbart61]

Does the current SAP Crystal Reports developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio fully support IPv6, in particular the IPv6-only mode?

Turn on any network tracing tool and watch what it's doing.

Don't use any Database Client, that would use network to access DB Server, don't use a Network Printer as your default printer. Or any third party communication app. that would use the network.

There may be one use, CR phones home for the Home page to be populated, I believe it uses Chrome engine to do this. But that is all handled by the dependencies, no specific calls into Network that I know of.

We are talking Standalone CR, if you are also using BOE or CR Server that's a different set of communications that directly access your network calls, I believe.

Curious why you are asking?

CR for VS and Crystal Reports doesn't directly use any network protocols.

It's your DB Client and other third party dependencies that use it.

As long a s those are configured CR won't have issues.

But is that, to put it kindly, an assumption or a proven fact?

Who knows what additional libraries for C/C++ are used by Crystal Reports for VS in addition?
