The Database

The database serves as the central repository of software and device permission data. Administrator and user access logs are also stored in the database.

The database uses one of the following Microsoft^® SQL^® Server products:

• Microsoft SQL Server 2012, Standard, Enterprise, Express Edition (32-bit and 64-bit)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2014, Standard, Enterprise, Express Edition (32-bit and 64-bit)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2016, Standard, Enterprise, Express Edition (64-bit only)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2017, Standard, Enterprise, Express Edition (64-bit only)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2019, Standard, Enterprise, Express Edition (64-bit only)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2022, Standard, Enterprise, Express Edition (64-bit only)

For evaluations and test environments Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express (or greater) is sufficient. Enterprise implementation must use the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (or greater) edition.
