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_new_v13.bak)

Creating the entitlement database - Click here to expand...

Create a new database;

Restore the database {{Insert name here}}

Once installed you may need to set up an sql server user to have access to this database.

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 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.
