Install Crystal Reports Designer for Sage 100

Before you begin

• Only install one version of Crystal Reports on a workstation
  • If you install another version, it will overwrite files from the previous one—even if it’s older
  • This can cause errors when you create, change, or print Crystal forms or reports
• The Sage 100 Workstation Setup installs a runtime version of Crystal Reports
  • It lets you print or preview forms and reports
• To create or edit Crystal Reports, install Crystal Reports Designer. Choose the Typical install option to use the default settings

To install Crystal Reports Designer

1. Go to the Sage 100 installation files.
   • This is where you ran and extracted the Sage 100 download file
2. Right-click Autorun.exe.
3. Select Run as administrator.
4. Choose your product:
   • Sage 100 Standard
   • Sage 100 Advanced
   • Sage 100 Premium
5. Select Productivity Applications.
6. Select Install Crystal Reports Designer.
7. Follow the wizard to install SAP Crystal Reports Designer.

 NOTE: If you've already installed the same version of Crystal Reports, you'll see a menu to Modify, Repair, or Remove the program. 

Additional information

• install Crystal Reports on the workstation, not the network. It’s easier and runs better that way
• You only need to install Crystal Reports if you’ll create or edit reports
  • You don’t need it to print or preview Sage 100 forms or reports
  • The Workstation Setup installs a runtime version for that
• Install Crystal Reports to set up or change fonts like MICR check fonts or bar code fonts

Registration

• You don’t need a serial number or key from Sage to install Crystal Reports. It installs on any workstation with Sage 100 or Workstation Setup
• If you install it on a workstation without Sage 100, you’ll need registration numbers
• If you see a message asking for a keycode, reinstall Workstation Setup. It’s a .dll issue, not a license problem
