    • Microsoft Windows Installer
    • Microsoft Silverlight 5.0 (will be installed by the Endpoint Security installer)
    • Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Package (x86 and x64)
    • Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Update 4 Redistributable Package (x86 and x64)

      • Device Control Media Hasher
      • Install Manager
    • Microsoft Silverlight 5.0

  • Microsoft SQL Server.

    Ivanti Endpoint Security requires an instance of Microsoft SQL Server to store its data. Multiple versions of SQL Server are supported.

    • Ivanti recommends using the latest service pack available for your instance of SQL Server.
    • If installing to a 64-bit server, Ivanti recommends installing using a supported preexisting instance of SQL Server that supports 64-bit architecture.
    • For evaluation installs, Ivanti Endpoint Security installs an instance of SQL Server 2014 Express SP1, which you can later upgrade to Standard or Enterprise before adding Ivanti Endpoint Security to a production environment. If you are evaluating Ivanti Endpoint Security, and you have no intent of using SQL Server 2014 Express SP1, your evaluation installation of Ivanti Endpoint Security should use your preferred version of SQL Server.

    You can install one of the supported database-server instances listed above in the following locations relative to the Ivanti Endpoint Security server:

    • On the target Ivanti Endpoint Security server itself, as installed by the Ivanti server installer, which installs an instance of SQL Server 2014 Express SP1 (x64).

      Although Ivanti Endpoint Security installs an instance of SQL Server 2014, (x64), installing an instance yourself is best practice when supporting an enterprise environment.

    • On the target Ivanti server itself, using a preexisting instance of SQL Server.
    • On a remote server that the Ivanti server remotely connects to, using a preexisting instance of SQL Server.

    When installing Ivanti Endpoint Security using an existing SQL Server instance, the instance collation must be set to one of the following values:

    • SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
    • Latin1_General_CI_AS
