Problem
I can't create a SSIS package from SQL Server Import and Export Wizard.
I get to the very last screen "Run Package" and only have the option to "Run Immediately" . At the bottom of said window I get a paragraph stating:
In SQL Server Express, Web, or Workgroup, you can run the package that the Import and Export Wizard creates, but cannot save it. To save packages that the wizard creates, you must upgrade to SQL Server Standard, Enterprise, Developer or Evaluation.
Context
I have several CSV files located on a client system that I want to load into a remote system hosting the SQL Server instance.
The Wizard is being run on the client system.
"Run Package " of the wizard DOES work and data loading is possible.
System permissions are such that the file system of client and host are invisible to each other. I would have BULK INSERT'ed otherwise.

We are using SQL Server 2012 SP3 [11.0.6020.0] Enterprise Edition and SSMS 2014 [12.0.4100.1] and have the same issue.
The pictures below are:
Since at work I had SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition [10.50.2500.0] + SSMS RTM [10.50.1600.1] (they just applied SP1 on server only, all clients remained RTM) I know 100% this couple was working fine. I patched my Studio so it then became 10.50.6000.34 and this couple: SQL Server 2008 SP3 + SSMS SP3 was still working fine. At home I use both the server and the studio patched, i.e. both of them [10.50.6000.34] and this configuration also has no issue.
Then the Server at work migrated: all the dbs were moved onto SQL Server 2012 SP3 that is shown on the picture [11.0.6020.0], for sure Enterprise Edition, we are using partitioning...And here came a surprise: our clients have the new SSMS 2014 [12.0.4100.1] installed, and the Wizard does not save the packages anymore! That was the first time I see the bizard complaining about Edition. So I was wondered if it's a known issue or no and I googled it up. I found no workarounds or explanaitions but I did found the Connect Item
Using Enterprise Edition; Can't Save SSIS Package from IMPORT WIZARD

So I just concluded it's a bug that won't be fixed (ok. because we cannot give any reproducible scenario), but it's just there
I had no chance to test your version [10.50.4000.0] and tis is the first time I read that the issue persisted on 2008 R2. I thought it was SSMS 2014's bug
