The actual patch process is quite fast. On our machine, it's just a few
minutes. The "verify that it is working" depends on how well you check. If
it's a real concern, I'd try it on a test server first.

Check your invoices, especially those with misc. charges. We found a change
to the Report Data Definition that whacks it out. I think 305K changed that.
Just re-implement any Crystal changes from the newest version and you should
be good to go.

I need to install Pat 8.03.305L (we are currently on 8.03.305F). After we backup the database, how long will it take to install the patch and verify that it is working?
My IT consultants will backup the server and then wants to install the patch and we want to make sure we leave enough time so I'm not paying OT. Will 1 1/2 hours be sufficient?
Thanks
