Installing the Entitlement Server database
The Entitlement LAN Service uses a local SQL database to store licensee details you need to restore the entitlement backup file to a new database. (Entitlement_v13.bak) - N:\Development\Pre-Flight Setups\Entitlement
Setup SQL Server Authentication
Ensure your SQL server is setup for windows and SQL authentication.
Right click on your SQL server – Properties
...
Select Security tab and ensure you have SQL Server and Windows Authentication checked – Click OK.
...

Name the Database INS_Entitlements and click OK.

Restoring the entitlement database
Right-click the databases folder and select restore Restore Databases.
...
Restore the entitlement database from - N:\Development\Pre-Flight Setups\Entitlement\Entitlement_v13.bak (Insula will provide this) and overwrite the database you just created.
...
Under the options tab select overwrite the existing database and click OK.
...
Once restored you will need to set up a sql server user to have access to this database.
Click the dropdown under security - right click Logins and select New Login.
...
Create a Login name - select SQL Server authentication (eg: Entitlement) - create a password with NO SYMBOLS. Update Keeper. (Note you will need these details later)
Uncheck Enforce password policy and Enforce password expiration.
...
Click on the User Mapping tab and add the user to your database. Please be sure to check db_owner.
...
Furthermore, when creating a new SQL login even if you check db_owner under the user mapping tab you will need to go back into the user and check db_owner again.
This is important in the final step of logging into the LAN Service for the first time, where we have to connect to the database with a valid user and password.
