Installing Exact Financials 7.2x when your current version is 7.x

Attention!! Exact Financials 7.2x is only supported in combination with Progress Open Edge version 11.5, 11.6 or 11.7 (64 bit). To upgrade Progress you need a new Progress license. This can be obtained by contacting Exact support. (Mind you, it takes about 4 days to get a new Progress licence). After this you need to convert your databases from 10.2B or 11.5 to 11.6 or 11.7.
