Decision time… • Do you want to run a single database?

• Do the Standalone Installation using the Oracle Express DB • Do you need to run multiple local databases? • Do you have local MS SQL databases to be upgraded? • Do you have local IT support?

• Create an initial MS SQL Express database • Do the Client Installation using MS SQL Express DB

• Do you want to be able to run local and connect to a DB?

• You can do either a Standalone or a Client Installation

No matter what you decide, if you have an existing P6 database, you will need to upgrade the database to 8.3 using the DB Setup tools first. If you need to install MS SQL Express (free), go to this link for a tech tip on how to download and install MS SQL Express.
