Additional notes:

The IBM Case Foundation V5.2 software license is required if you want to use the full workflow capability feature. The full workflow capability feature includes designing and launched new Process service workflows.

Without the IBM Case Foundation V5.2 software license, you can only launch and process existing workflows on the Content Platform Engine. These existing workflows are inherited in an upgrade or a migration from another system with licensing for the full workflow capability feature.

Installing the IBM Case Foundation V5.2 software component is not required for launching or processing existing or new workflows on the Content Platform Engine.

Installing the IBM Case Foundation V5.2 software component is required to manage the Case Analyzer configuration if you use the Case Analyzer service in the Content Platform Engine.

Installing the IBM Case Foundation V5.2 software component is required if you want to integrate the Case Analyzer component with Microsoft® SQL Server Analysis Services.

The IBM Case Foundation V5.2 software component is required for integration with Cognos software. The Case Monitor Project and Cognos Business Intelligence Project components provide default dashboards and reports for Cognos RTM and Cognos BI, respectively, which may be used as starting points for more custom requirements. Familiarity with the Cognos RTM and Cognos BI will be required to extend this functionality.
