Answer 1

Anne - Can you please clarify your question?

I think you meant Crystal XI and not Crystal XP. Crystal Reports XI can be downloaded from the Business Objects website via the 1st link below.

There are multiple versions of Crystal Reports XI. If you'd like to know what is included with each version, check out the product comparison PDF via the 2nd link below.

Business Objects will email you a keycode which is valid for 30 days so you can have a free trial of the software. Once you decide which version you like best, you can purchase directly at the Business Objects website or you can purchase through any number of software vendors. You may wish to shop using the 3rd link below.

Remember, if you don't already have a previous version of Crystal Reports then you will need to purchase the full edition instead of the upgrade edition.

Tip: Crystal Reports Developer Edition includes Crystal Reports Server XI with 5 named user licenses. So if you want to schedule your reports to run automatically and don't want to write a boatload of software to manage the scheduling and distribution, I recommend purchasing Developer Edition. It's worth the extra cost!

If you want to know how to install Crystal Reports XI, see the 4th link below.

If you wish to download "Crystal XP 0.21 prebuild", written by Sven Nobis and self-described as "changes the transpancy of all windows, like by some screenshots of the new Windows Vista (or Longhorn)", then you can download it using the 5th link below.
