Is it possible to do a migration skipping a version between? Like from version 9 to version XI.

We went from 8.5 to 10, without much trouble. One report with complex links stopped working, mostly because the 8.5 method wasn't really correct.

You still haven't posted what versions you have and intend.

And yes, you can skip versions.

sorry about that! 8.5 version to 10

Should be fairly painless, especially if you haven't used Crystal Queries as data sources.

Ther is a Crystal Import Wizard so that you can copy everything (for the most part) from the old CE to the new.

Also note that there are many fixes to the import wizard in the service packs, so prior to running it, apply the latest service pack.

There are some formatting issues if you have pre-8 rpt versions.
