•
To install Pervasive PSQL for Windows, you must have full administrator-level rights on the machine where you will install Pervasive PSQL.
Installing the Engine on Terminal Server
To install Pervasive PSQL on a terminal server, you must be logged on to the console of the server as a user with system administrator rights to install. This can either be the physical console on the server or a remote console session.
Install Pervasive PSQL as you normally would, using the steps discussed in this manual. The operating system automatically handles the changing of terminal server modes.
Running the Engine on Terminal Server
Only one instance of the database engine may run on any terminal server platform. You cannot run separate copies of the database engine within two or more terminal sessions.
Installation Tips
•
When installing Pervasive PSQL v11 SP3 for the first time on a system, Setup checks if all of the needed system files meet the minimum requirements. In some cases, these files are locked by the operating system and a reboot is required before Setup can continue.
*Caution: You must reboot your system if you encounter the reboot message. If you do not reboot your system, Setup encounters failures during engine and utilities configuration.
