We are currently running 4.2.0.82 and I wanted to add support for Server 2012. I ran across this RC version and wanted to upgrade to this since there is so many new features. My hesitation is we have other systems importing data based on the tables/fields. After reading the upgrade info its not really clear to me as to the impact this upgrade will have on the database tables/fields.

Can you please clarify? Is there any tables/fields changing names or field types etc?

thanks!

Yes, I suggest a separate installation first to test everything.

The report builder is a third party component, this will be difficult to accomplish.

First impression is that it looks like a lot of new features to be looked at when I got the time for it. However, I am still missing a proper Software License manager where I can add a license to a target computer. For example, we have some software, like anti-virus and office for certain number of computers, but other software like Photoshop are purchased on a need basis and are locked to one computer.
I would like to get better control over these licenses to see that users with local admin does not install licensed software with no registered license.
