Crystal Reports Fundamentals Training

I have started Sage University's SAP Crystal Reports Fundamentals training and am having issues connecting Crystal Reports to Sage 300 CRE.  I have the trial version of Crystal Reports and Sage 300 CRE.  I have configured the Timberline Data Source in ODBC, but in Crystal Reports when I use the Database Expert my Timberline Data Source is not available.  Is this an issue because we are using a trial version of Crystal Reports?  If not, any other suggestions on how to connect my databases?  Thank you!
