Crystal reports difference in Advance, Developer & Professional

[Kingkumar]

Hi ,
I was wondering how much functionality wise and cost wise difference in Advance and Developer version of crystal report 9.0?

I need to order the software for my company and was wondering which one of the 3 is the best option (cost + functionality ) tradeoff
Thanks

As with any software analysis, that depends entirely upon your requirements.

The current version is CR XI, you're considering a version that's not too far from being unsupported.

Here's the feature comparison for CR XI back to CR 6:

hi,
i was looking for differnece between advance and developer versions of ver9.0 (i know its kind of outdated but our production server has it and it would be really lenghty process to upgrade it )

I found out that there is not much differnece b/w the two the only difference b/w the two is the number of concurrent users.
so if its going to be a lot of concurrent user then u have to have advance version otherwise deverloper will do
thanks
