Other

    Note:

    You must install .NET Framework before you install the database client.
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64).

    The SMTP server sends email notifications from the study server. These emails send Password Reset notifications and links to report outputs from the Reporting and Analysis module. For these features to work as expected, you must configure the SMTP server to use the default mail folder locations.
