Crystal Reports | 12
That’s the story of Crystal Reports 12: unloved, under-documented, but absolutely unkillable.

SAP had acquired Business Objects (the original makers of Crystal Reports) in 2007. But inside the codebase, Crystal Reports still had DNA going back to the 1990s. Technically, version 12 was part of the Crystal Reports 2008 release. But in the wild, developers and IT managers just called it "Crystal 12" or "CR 12" because that was the underlying runtime version number (12.0.x.x). crystal reports 12
