Note: Before installing SQL Server, you may need to update Windows Installer, .Net Framework and Windows PowerShell.
Version after 3.11 supports MSDE as the built-in database engine. For data size less than 2G bytes, No other database systems such as SQL Server are required. We recommend use this engine when 5 or less computers are being monitored and snapshot caputure is not enabled.
If you use SQL Server 2005 SP1 or above, please make sure you follow the instructions in the manual since you need to manually set configurations in some important steps, otherwise, wrong configuration may lead to server lauch failure. When using SQL Server 2005 SP1 or above as database server, please uncheck MSDE when you install the SurveilStar server.
