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 .zip file. Simply use a file extraction tool such as WinZip™ or 7-Zip File Manager to extract the .zip 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 operating system.
3 Required for viewing Graphics+ files on Site Management Portal software clients.
4 At Release 12.0.50, Metasys Advanced Reporting System is compatible with SQL Server 2017, and SQL Server 2016 software, but is not compatible with SQL Server 2019.
5 Required for reports generated by the Metasys Advanced Reporting System. Use Report Viewer 2012 Redistribution Package for both SQL Server 2017 and SQL Server 2016 software.
