How do I access the free SAP Crystal Presentation Design offer?

Former Member — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 02:51:31 GMT

Please advise,

In the most recent [UA Newsletter|http://www28.sap.com/mk/get/G_11_UA_NL_FEB], I saw the offer for the free SAP Crystal Presentation Design download. I clicked on the link provided but it's saying the cost is $195.

Is there a promo code I should be entering?

Thanks,

Kevin

Dear Kevin,

The USD195 indicated is the price of the SAP Crystal Presentation Design when you finally decide to buy the product. In the meantime, you can downloand and evaluate the software for free for a limited period.

If you are a UA member, we have a better option for you, ie, to have the evaluation software for 6 months. The link to download SAP Dashboard Design is found here with the necessary passcode and instructions.

Please log in to the UA Libraray Reserved Desk (for UA members only).

Under the UA Business Intelligence Curricula (see below), you can click on "SOFTWARE: SAP Crystal Dashboard Design (Xcelsius Engage 2008)"

UA Business Intelligence Curricula

BI1 & BI2: SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse and SAP Business Explorer

BI3 - Module 1: SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence and Universe Design

BI3 - Module 2: SAP Crystal Dashboard Design

SOFTWARE: SAP Crystal Dashboard Design (Xcelsius Engage 2008)

BI3 - Module 3: SAP Crystal Reports

SOFTWARE: SAP Crystal Reports (Crystal Reports 2008) & SAP Integration Kit

Incidentally, we are now updating the pascode with new expiry date. Perhaps, you can give us one more day before you try to download.

Regards
