SAP Business Explorer (BEx) Maintenance BEx 7.0 continues to be delivered with the next SAP NetWeaver BW releases. At thispoint in time, there‗s no planned end of life. The maintenance period is renewed withevery major BW release. BEx 3.5 is part of BW 3.5/SAP NetWeaver 04 and the maintenance cycle is coupled tothis release (see SAP note 1410878). As BEx 3.5 is also compatible with a BW 7.0backend and had been delivered with BW 7.0, SAP will maintain BEx 3.5 functionalitywithin BW 7.0 and subsequent releases until the end of BW 7.0 maintenance cycle.Maintenance is NOT extended with BW 7.30 or other future releases. Note that full PAMsupport of BEx 3.5 cannot be granted by SAP – as Microsoft has removed, e.g., supportfor some components within Windows 7 that had been used by BEx Web ApplicationDesigner 3.5. Also see: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/bexCoexistence BEx Analyzer and Analysis, edition for MS Office You can install BEx and Analysis on a single PC.Only one add-in can be active in an Excel session (in other words, either BEx or Analysiscan be active) Opening a BEx workbook activates the BEx add-in. 2010 SAP AG.
