SQL Server installation documented in this guide

ePO - On-prem requires the use of a supported SQL Server. The installation scenario described in detail in this guide assumes that you have already installed a supported version of SQL Server or SQL Server Express.

In this scenario, you install the SQL Server manually and then the Setup program installs the ePO - On-prem software. For more information about installing SQL Server, see your SQL Server software documentation.

Important

If ePO - On-prem is installed in a cluster environment, the SQL Server must be separate from ePO - On-prem: it must not be installed on the same cluster as ePO - On-prem.

Other relevant SQL Server installations and upgrades

See the Microsoft documentation provided for information about these installation scenarios:

  • Installing SQL Server 2016, 2017, 2019, 2022, or 2025

  • Upgrading from SQL Server 2005 or 2008 to supported SQL Server versions

  • Upgrading from SQL Server 2005 Express or 2008 Express to supported SQL Server versions
