Really hate to be the bearer of bad news but here goes.

What are your FRx options if you don’t use one of the 4 Microsoft GLs? If you use Sage or Epicor or one of the other 40 or so GLs that FRx works with, your options are quite limited.

Your software publisher’s contract for FRx support ends December 2010. That is FRx’s End of Life. I don’t know yet if you can get per-incident phone support after this date, but it’d probably be smart NOT to count on it.

Microsoft is replacing FRx with Management Reporter (MR). Your MR options are even more limited than your FRx options. The only possibility is MR version 1, and that’s only if your GL publisher has already written an integration to it. You should contact the publisher (Sage, Epicor, etc) to find out what your options are. If they haven’t written an integration, then they may already have a non-Microsoft replacement product. I know several publishers are looking.

Future versions of Management Reporter won’t be available at all. Period.
