So in short this means that Service Flow Feature is now a Cost option?

It is not backwards compatible AND you have to pay for it?

you save the maintenance somewhere before you start the install instead of
downloading it as part of the install or you might have to download this a
few times. Rather large means many gigabytes.

NOTHING on how to tailor it for our shop, what (if anything) needs to be

a "slam-dunk", btw), the Licensed Program Specification and the CBPDO "Memo
to Users".  That's all!
