Salesware Installation Guide : Installation overview : Installation of core Salesware modules : Required installation files
 
Required installation files
 
The Salesware Product Table in the Modules section of the Salesware Modules, Licensing and Maintenance document (available from http://www.siriusware.com/docs) lists the names of the associated installer file used to install every Salesware product. This section covers installation of only the core Salesware modules– that is, those modules which must be installed at every Salesware installation to achieve the core product functionality. The installers required to do this are listed and described in the following table. In addition to the installation files, you also need the latest update files associated with each module, also listed in the table. For a detailed description of how update files are used in the Salesware application, see Updating Salesware Modules, available from http://www.siriusware.com/docs. The installers and update files are all available from the Siriusware Inc. web site.

In addition, you need a SiriusSQL database. When you run the Server Files installer, you are prompted to indicate which of the following you are installing:
• An existing database – A SiriusSQL database that already has an associated license file and site-specific data. Normally installed at upgrade installations.
• A new database – A “clean” SiriusSQL database that doesn’t yet have an associated license file or site-specific data. Normally installed at new installations.
 
Depending on which you select, you need the following files (files for a new database are only available internally to Siriusware Inc., because a new database is always created by an employee for a new client rather than having the client do it himself.)
 
Existing database
New database (Note: xxxx indicates the current release number)
SiriusSQL.ldf
SiriusSQL_clean_xxxx.zip (contains SiriusSQL.ldf, SiriusSQL.mdf, SiriusSQL_Logs.ndf and SiriusSQL_Transact.ndf)
SiriusSQL.mdf
create_AppRole_SiriusSQL.sql
SiriusSQL_Logs.ndf
Insert_SiriusSQL_SystemData_xxxx zip
SiriusSQL_Transact.ndf
 
Siriusware.LIC
 
 
In addition, you need to ensure that your database is up-to-date, regardless of which option you choose. You perform this step last and use a file with a filename of the format: SiriusSQL__xxxx to__xxxx sql.
