  • Although I havent yet seen the product, it does sound quite a steep price
    for existing users to move onwards to V7.

    Sure - charge for Server deployment licences, but why not make the developer
    (/upgrade) cost a bit more reasonab…

    If I already own $749 dollars worth of Enterprise, (purchased before

    thanks !

    So basically you always need to use a two pass setting if you're using the

    That is a one pass/two pass setting issue. If you bring up the report Report

  • Hi Paul,

    yes, the Server version includes the Enterprise version. There is the
    posibility to upgrade to the Server version from the Enterprise version. See
