This is from page 26 of the 4.50 prerelease guide dated April 2011:
FRX FINANCIAL REPORTER
Prior to the 4.5 release, Microsoft® announced the retirement of FRx® so Sage started the
process of evaluating alternative solutions. Sage ERP MAS Intelligence was identified as the
ideal candidate to take customers from simple financial reporting to reporting and analyzing
their entire ERP solution. In the fall of 2010, Intelligence launched to Sage ERP MAS
customers.
On January 31, 2011, Sage officially retired FRx. To help migrate customers over to
Intelligence, current FRx users were giving the equivalent Intelligence license(s) and/or
module(s). Over the coming year, Sage will work with customers and business partners to make
sure customers are using the ideal financial reporting solution for their business. .
With Microsoft’s permission, Sage is developing a utility that will decrypt proprietary FRx files.
The conversion utility will allow consultants or users familiar with FRx to recreate similar reports
in Intelligence more quickly, and reduce the effort in migrating FRx reports over to Intelligence.
We expect v4.5 to continue to be backwards compatible with existing FRx installations and
reporting functionality.
This is from page #18 of the Version 4.50 Customer Upgrade Guide revision #8 (no date indicated):
RETIRED MODULES:
The following modules have been retired as of version 4.50:
- Starship
- FRx Reporting
- F9
- Business Alerts Select
Something changed between the pre-release guide and the upgrade guide, hence my question.
