REA 9.16.0

Released December 9, 2009

Database Version

This release includes a database upgrade to schema version 2.0. Upgrading the database is required. There is no backward compatibility. All REA users must upgrade to the new version of this product.

License Key Change

This release requires a new license key. All users with current support agreements can obtain new licenses from REA. When you upgrade the database, your current license key will be replaced with a temporary key that is valid for 30 days. You must obtain a new license key before the temporary one expires. (Use the Database Manager or Tools > Administration > Registration in the REA application.)

Starting with this version, you can not install and use a version of REA that was released after your support agreement expired. To use newer versions, you must renew your support agreement and obtain a new license key.

Note: Your license to use REA never expires. You can always download, install, and use any version of REA that was released while your support agreement was valid.

Another Note: It is no longer possible to back up a database from one server and use it on another with the same license key as the original. Users who wish to use the same database on two different systems should contact REA Technical Support to see if they are eligible for special terms on a second license key.

Companies As Contacts

The largest change in this release is the ability to use a company in most places where a contact was required in previous version: as the owner, agent, or site contact for a property, as the tenant in a space, as any of the contacts for a sale comp or lease comp, or as the investor or agent for a 1031 exchange. In addition, when a company is the tenant in a space, the one-space-one-tenant restriction is removed. A company can be listed as the tenant in any number of spaces.

The reports supplied with REA have been updated to support this feature. Many reports have also been updated to add new features.
