Yes, using Premium is a supported option and does get you access to both Analytics and Crystal Web. If you are having problems with the install, contact support. It is supported - http://media.cms.bmc.com/documents/BMC_Analytics_2_5_01Compatibility-Matrix_v1.pdf and this was the plan for how our customers could leverage BOXI more effectively. We routinely have customers buy Analytics then upgrade from Professional to Premium so the can use Crystal Web.

**_Platinum Sponsor: [email protected] ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_Adding to an older existing thread (with new subject) since some of the previous posts may be relevant:We’re trying to reduce the BOXI installs in our environment in order to free up servers.Ok, you can’t use the limited BOXI that comes with Analytics as your Mid-Tier reporting engine. Fine.I’ve seen several posts about the Analytics BOXI not working with MT/Crystal, but found nothing regarding the full BOXI working for Analytics.SO if you own the full BOXI Enterprise Premium R2 SP2 (which works with MT), can it work with Analytics?Anybody gotten that configuration to work?We having issues with this in that when using the full BOXI Enterprise Premium R2 SP2 (11.5), the Analytics Universe will not install.Environment Mid-Tier Server:VMWare ESXi 3OS – Windows 2003 32-bitDatabase – SQL Server 2005JDK – 1.6_014Web server/JSP Engine – Tomcat 5.5.12MT Version – 7.5Environment Analytics Server:VMWare ESXi 3OS – Windows 2003 32-bitDatabase – SQL Server 2005JDK – 1.6_014Application server – Tomcat 5.5.12Analytics Version – 2.5.01Tim PowellFrom: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kelly Deaver

**BOXI that comes with BMC Analytics is for use with BMC Analytics ONLY. You can't use it as your Crystal Report Server. The version that comes with BMC Analytics is Business Objects Professional. Professional limits use to ONE BO module. To use with mutliple modules (analytics and reporting) you have to purchase the upgrade to BO Premium from SAP.Kelly Deaver(Yes, I work for BMC.
