The quick setup allows you to start using the program to increase your report development productivity and data security almost immediately.

Installing Crystal Reports Server on Windows:
Crystal Reports Server is a server-side installation. This means that you install it on one central server rather than on each user's machine. Users then access Crystal Reports Server from their individual machines through the web portal interface, or InfoView. This installation method is the quickest way to install Crystal Reports Server.

Crystal Reports Server requires a database to store information about the system and its users. This database is known as the Central Management Server (CMS) database. The CMS is a server that stores information about the Crystal Reports Server system. Other components of Crystal Reports Server can access this information as required.
