SQL Server installation requirements and issues
Beginning with PrinterOn Enterprise 4.2.3, the PrinterOn installation includes a copy of Microsoft SQL Server Express 2016. Previous versions included Microsoft SQL Server Express 2014.
Note: If you are upgrading a previous installation of PrinterOn Enterprise, the installer will not upgrade the SQL Server software. SQL Server Express 2016 is only installed with new installations.
If any issues are found during the installation of the SQL Server, it is recommended that you manually install the Microsoft .NET framework before installing the PrinterOn software.
Important! The version of SQL Server Express that is installed with PrinterOn requires that TLS v1.0 is enabled on the host computer. However, by default, PrinterOn disables TLS v1.0 on the host computer during the installation process. As a result, if you intend to use the PrinterOn-installed version of SQL Server, you must enable TLS v1.0 on the host machine.
