Need to limit number of report instances in CE V9 Standard

[bikejockey]

I am needing to manage the instances under CE V9.0 Standard. Under V8.5 I had the option to automatically delete instances after there were more than X number of instances for a report or after they were more then X days old. The limits seem to be moved to a folder for V9. However, can’t seem to access them with just the Standard edition.

The disks keep filling up and I'm having to manage the instances manually. Any help would be appreciated.

In Crystal Management Console, goto manage objects.
click into one of your reports, and you will see a tab called limits.

You can set your maximum instances here.

Sorry, pressed enter before I was finished.

If you want to set a global maximum, from CMC goto manage settings and limits tab.

I am using CE Standard Edition. Clicking on the Limits tab brings up the screen that says to use this feature you must upgrade to the Professional Edition.

I'm using CE standard here. Are you sure you not just using the RAS version?

No, It is the Standard Edition. Version 9.0.0.2815

I even searched all through the registry to see if I could find anything, but couldn't find anything there.

I remember reading that the default was 100 instances so thought they would cut off there, but No, they just keep piling up.

100 is the default value in the limits windows, but if you aren't able to set limits, the default behavior is unlimited instances. Did you try the Limits tab on both individual objects and on folders?

 

[bikejockey]

Oh yes, I have tried. The tabs I cannot access on an object are:
Limits
Print Setup
Destination

On a folder, the only one I cannot access is Limits.

From the Tasks Menu (CMC Home) I cannot access:
Manage Users
Manage Groups
Manage Events
Manage Server Groups

I cannot get to limits on the Manage Settings Tab either.

Any ideas?
