Deltek Costpoint 8.0.16.1 Release Notes (Build 8.0.16.5006)

Welcome to the Deltek Costpoint 8.0.16.1 Release Notes, which describe the new features and enhancements introduced in this release.

Important Notes

These release notes address all of the modules associated with Deltek Costpoint 8.0.16.1, some of which your firm may not use. Skip the sections that do not apply to your implementation of Deltek Costpoint.

Release notes are available from the landing page and the Costpoint Information Center. We will make a PDF available for a while, as we transition to the new format.

We want the release notes to be as easy to use as possible. To this end, we will continue to analyze and improve upon the format. If you have feedback, please email DeltekDocumentationFeedback@deltek.com.

Installation Notes

The MR installer reads all Costpoint systems selected. If a Time & Expense segment exists, the installer searches for the presence of a Time & Expense license in that Costpoint system, and lists any systems for which there is no Time & Expense license.

If a prompt displays, review the list and select the appropriate action:

Using the Apply License utility in the Costpoint DB Wizard, apply a Time & Expense license to the Costpoint system(s) in the list for which the connected Time & Expense segment is not for a stand-alone, external connection that should have a Time & Expense license applied to it.

Any stand-alone, external Time & Expense segments for which a Time & Expense license is not present, or for which the Time & Expense segment is for a Time & Expense 901 system, will not have the MR Time & Expense patches, SPs, or Data Dictionary files applied to them. These Time & Expense segments are marked as External TESS segments.

If all the systems listed are actual stand-alone, external (non-licensed) Time & Expense segments and you want them converted to external segments without applying the MR to them, click OK to proceed.

If you are unsure, please contact Deltek Costpoint Technical Support.
