    We are in the process of migrating to Windows 10. One concern is that we are all using Crystal 2008 for our LBI reports and Lawson reporting. Our tech person is concerned about Crystal 2008 and Windows 10 not working well together.

    is anyone using Crystal 2013 for LBI? Have there been any issues?

    As of 11/29/17- it appears we can only upgrade to Crystal 2016. Anyone have Crystal 2016 and Windows 10 working with Lawson???

      We use Crystal 2011 version 14. While Infor states that our version of LBI (10.6) supports Crystal 2013, our IT staff keeps us on Crystal 2011 for now. We've had the same version of Crystal for several years now. I'm currently on Windows 7 and will be migrating to Windows 10 in a few weeks and have not had any issues with our Crystal version on our test PC for Windows 10.

        We installed Crystal RAS on our LBI server when we moved to S3 V10 and had a tom of problems with the scheduler and report server engine. It seems that 2013 has issues with large volumes of scheduled reports and would crash half way through our nightly publications. Infor is aware of this and they had us downgrade to CRAS 2011. We had already converted all of our reports to 2013 but luckily they will still run on 2011 CRAS.

          So in looking at upgrade options for Crystal, it looks like the only option we have is to go to Crystal 16. Anyone been successful with Windows 10, Crystal 16 and Lawson??????

            Hi Kelly. We currently use Crystal Reports 2011. I was recently notified about possibly upgrading to Crystal Reports 2016. Were you able to implement 2016? If so, does it play nice with Lawson?

            Thanks,
