It seems that Sterling changes their packaging from time to time, and I don't try to keep up with what they're doing. However, when I faced this with a client last year the only difference between Director Pro and Director was the edition of the mapper and the forms/print tool. In other words, it's packaging - you're getting two more components in Pro. Gentran Server is a much more comprehensive, multi-user, higher capacity, server-based system that costs about three or four times as much as Director. Unless you need the additional throughput or features (mostly in mailboxing and process control) I wouldn't upgrade to Server. I also seem to recall that Sterling wanted to retire Gentran:Server on Windows and UNIX in favor of GIS, but I might be mistaken. I would ask Sterling about it if I were you.
