SQL Server Licensing

PME is designed to operate with a Microsoft SQL Server database system. See Operating Environment for a list of supported Microsoft SQL Server versions and editions.

Microsoft SQL Server is available as a free, scaled down Express version, and as a licensed, full server version. You can use both versions with PME. For information on the limitations when using SQL Server Express, see SQL Server considerations.

A free version of SQL Server Express is included in the PME installation files and you have the option to install it during the installation of PME.

You can purchase licenses for a full server version from Microsoft or from Schneider Electric. Schneider Electric only resells licenses for specific versions and editions of Microsoft SQL Server, that are compatible with PME. Contact Schneider Electric for details. See Resources for contact information.
