Installing the SmartBatch Standard Edition

The Standard  Edition Windows Installer must be used to install SmartBatch Standard Edition. The name of the installer is setup.exe. Double-click on this setup file to run the installer. Follow the prompts and provided the requested information to install SmartBatch.

Standard Edition Database

The Standard Edition automatically installs the Microsoft Access database file (sb.mdb).  The Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition by default use the Microsoft Access database file.  The Executive Server connects to the data source. No other component in SmartBatch connects to the data source other than the Remote Agent in the Enterprise Edition.  All other components connect to the Executive Server.  For some environments the MS Access database will be sufficient as a database source.  You can use SQL Server Express to host the SmartBatch configuration with the Standard Edition of SmartBatch.  To use other versions of these database products you must license the Enterprise Edition of SmartBatch.  

The Standard Edition cannot use Remote Agents.
