4 Deploying Microsoft SQL Server Express on Microsoft Windows Devices
Starting with the Simphony 19.6 release, the default database is MySQL 8.0.
Starting with the Simphony 19.8 release, you have the option to deploy Microsoft SQL Express 2016 SP3 as an upgrade or a new install from a CAL package named SQLExpress2016SP3v2.
This CAL package deploys Microsoft SQL Server Express 2016 as an installation or upgrade of SQL Server Express 2012 and SQL Server Express 2014 with a minimum version of Service Host 19.4.
To ensure the upgrade works correctly, you need to deploy the packages in the order listed below:
-
CAL Client

-
Service Host Download
-
Service Host
Deploy the CAL packages as described in CAL Package Deployment and CAL on Workstations.
