Crystal Enterprise (CE) 9 supports those platforms?
answer
This document lists the platforms used in CE 9 installation and software testing. The following environmental list includes only the environment that explicitly supports all CE 9 components.
This article is based on Platforms.txt of the Crystal Enterprise 9 Installation Disk (CD) root. However, this article updated on the initial version of Platforms.txt.
This article does not include knowledge about space requirements or hardware requirements. Space requirements are specific in every CE implementation and cannot be summarized in an article.
