There is a chance that Crystal Reports 2025 will be released next week on 3/12/2025.  I just viewed an SAP community page that mentions Crystal Reports 2025. The only problem is that page points to an article that focuses on SAP BI 2025 and doesn’t specifically mention Crystal Reports 2025 anywhere. I guess we will know more next week. SAP has always been cagey about new versions of Crystal Reports.

You should also check out the rest of this “new” community page. I say “new” because it is new to me.  It looks like it has been around for about a year without me noticing it. The good news is that most of it doesn’t require you to have an SAP account ID.

This page lets you download the install media for every version of Crystal reports for the past 20 years (including Crystal Reports XI from 2005). Yes, you still have to have a license key to complete the installs, but this is great for when computers crash and you lose your install files.

This page also has links to trial versions of Crystal Reports, SAP generated sample reports and lots of how-to guides (formulas, charts, etc).

And thanks to Gordon Portanier of Crystalize in Canada for sharing the link.
