    We're currently running LBI version 10.1 (a little behind, I admit), and are wanting to get updated to the latest and greatest. Problem is there's some confusion with versions and licenses, specifically when talking about Infor BI (or Infor BI for Lawson)... It looks like 10.6 is the latest, but we're being told it's a separate product at that point and that there would be a change in our license terms.

    So ultimately my question is: what is the latest version that is still technically "LBI"? What would be the best version to update to at this point? 10.5? And would migrating to 10.6 be worthwhile to consider, even if it may impact license counts?

      Version 10.4 starts the "Infor BI for Lawson" name change. It looks pretty much the same, but Viewpoint goes away and Analytic Architect becomes an option. FS, RS, and SN are still there. If you're just running standard LBI, I don't think you would notice a difference. It does require a no fee change order through your account exec. If you're planning on upgrading in place, I would pay close attention to the system requirements (i.e. Crystal).

      To my knowledge: 10.4 is latest available, with 10.5 expected to be released soon.
