Difference betwen CR2013 and CR2016

[former_member604821]

Kindly could anyone tell me what is the difference between CR2013 and CR2016. Why we need to upgrade to CR2016?

As far up gradation ,only answer I know is CR2013 support ends by 2020. But I would like to know other reasons as well why we should upgrade to CR2016.

Probably a comparison matrix would be fine between CR2013 and CR2016

I recommend searching. I searched and found this wiki: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/From+Crystal+Reports+2008+to+SAP+Crystal+Reports+2016+or+...

SAP Crystal Reports 2016

SAP Crystal Reports 2016 is an updated version of SAP Crystal Reports 2008 with additional features such as

• Read-Only Report Format
• Export to XSLX from the report designer and viewer
• Integration with Visual Studio 2010/2012/2013/2015. This is provided by a seperate product download. See the following link:

There's not much difference other than the addition of a couple of newer database connections. Also, 2016 SP4 and newer have updated security libraries.
