Begin by installing Crystal Ball EPM version 11.1.1.1.00 or later using the instructions in the current Oracle Crystal Ball Installation and Licensing Guide. Follow the instructions to activate a license that is valid for Crystal Ball EPM. A supported version of Microsoft Excel must also be installed on your computer. You also need a compatible version of Smart View, as described in Compatible Applications, and a version of Strategic Finance that is compatible with that version of Smart View. For additional compatibility information, see the Smart View and Strategic Finance documentation.
Note: | 64-bit versions of Crystal Ball EPM are not compatible with 32-bit versions of Smart View and related EPM products such as Essbase, Planning, and Strategic Finance. For additional compatibility information, see Compatible Applications. Users with an application-specific license may require an active connection to Strategic Finance to run Crystal Ball models. |
