Crystal 10 Enterprise vs Crystal Server 2008 1

[JannaO]

Had a user ask some questions about Crystal 10 Enterprise vs. Crystal 2008. Any help would be appreciated.

What is the end of life of Crystal Enterprise Version 10.0?
When was Crystal Server 2008 released? What is its end of life?
What are the differences between Crystal Server 2008 and Crystal Enterprise 10.0?
Our report templates were created with Crystal Report 8.0 and 10.0. Will these templates work with Crystal Server 2008?

What is the end of life of Crystal Enterprise Version 10.0?
Support ended in June 2008

When was Crystal Server 2008 released? What is its end of life?
Crystal Server 2008 was released in July 2008

What are the differences between Crystal Server 2008 and Crystal Enterprise 10.0?
- New functions available within the report files (*.RPT).
- CR Server 2008 is limited to a SINGLE server. CE-10 allowed for multi-server clusters.

NOTE : CR Server 2008 is the "light" version of the product. If your CE-10 support agreement is current with BOBJ, you should be able to move to the Business Objects Enterprise XI server which is the more robust product.

Our report templates were created with Crystal Report 8.0 and 10.0. Will these templates work with Crystal Server 2008?

Yes, but you may need to migrate the version-8 RPT to version-10 before you move them into 2008/XI.
