Important Notes
Caution: Only one version of Crystal Reports may be active on a machine. For example, if you install Workstation Setup for Sage 100 2018 (which comes with Crystal Reports 2016) on a computer that already has Workstation Setup for Sage 100 2017 (which comes with Crystal Reports 2011) installed, you will encounter an error when attempting to print from Sage 100 2017.
It is not necessary to install Crystal Reports Designer in order to print and preview reports and forms from within Sage 100. The Workstation Setup client install, which allows you to log into Sage 100, also includes a Crystal runtime engine. However, Crystal Reports Designer is necessary if you want to create and modify Crystal Reports forms and reports.
Sage Customer Support may not be able to provide assistance for issues relating to certain third-party products and/or reporting customizations.
