Before you begin with the Metasys Server installation or upgrade, review Table 1 to verify that you have the required software. The table also indicates where you can obtain each software component.
Note: If you purchased Metasys Server software that includes SQL Server software (for example, MS-ADX25SQL-0), the SQL Server package is provided in a compressed file with a .rar file extension. This type of file is similar to a .zip file. Simply use a file extraction tool such as WinZip™ or 7-Zip File Manager to extract the .rar file to the server's hard drive.
Note: Do not install Metasys on a Domain Controller. A Domain Controller provides the Active Directory service to network users and computers; stores directory data; and manages user and domain interactions including the login process, authentication, and directory searches.

1 We highly recommend that the computer you want to use for Metasys software had its operating system installed on a cleanly formatted hard disk. If you use a computer that was upgraded from a previous version of Windows, files and registry settings left behind after the upgrade may adversely affect the installation of Metasys system software.
2 Metasys system software does not support the touchscreen interface that is featured in the Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 operating systems.
3 Required for viewing Graphics+ files on Site Management Portal software clients.
4 At Release 11.0, Metasys Advanced Reporting System and Energy Essentials are compatible with SQL Server 2017, SQL Server 2016, and SQL Server 2014 software, but are not compatible with SQL Server 2019.
5 Required for reports generated by the Metasys Advanced Reporting System or Metasys Energy Essentials. Use Report Viewer 2012 Redistribution Package for SQL Server 2017, SQL Server 2016, and SQL Server 2014 software.
