We have added support for SQL Server 2014 in Arellia 8.1. As part of this work we have upgraded the version of Microsoft SQLServer Data-Tier Application Framework (DACFx) that we use from 11.1 to 12.0.
New installs of 8.1 will automatically install DACFx 12.0 as part of the Web Platform Installation.
In-place upgrades will require the installation of the DACFx (June 2014) package from the Microsoft Web Platform Installer feed before running the upgrade steps below.
