We currently have an intranet server running Crystal Enterprise 8.0 with web several reports (CR 8.5) that have been in operation for about a year. We are living with the 5 concurrent user licenses, and it is working fine.
Now, we want to add some additional reports using Crystal Reports 9.0. My assumption is, since CE8 and CR8.5 live in the COM world and CR9.0 is in the .NET environment, that they will coexist on the same server with no conflicts. Do you agree?
I am also assuming that licensing issues should be a primary concern. Will the installation of CR 9.0 create 5 additional licenses for use in the CR 9 environment, or will both CE8 and CR9 reports draw from the same pool?
Does anyone have any experience with this combination? Is there anything else I need to consider?
Thanks for any help.
