Note: The installer will attempt to test these credentials. In some cases, it may be possible for an incorrect result to this test, depending on the complexity of your network. This test should be taken as a guideline only - a failed result can be ignored if you are sure your credentials are correct.

1.5 Configure the 12d Synergy FRS - Database

You can now choose if you are using a pre-existing SQL Server, or if you would like 12d Synergy to install a new copy of SQL Server Express 2014 for you.

Note: If you choose to install SQL Server 2014 express, you must accept Microsoft’s terms and conditions for the use of SQL Server 2014.

1.6 Configure the 12d Synergy FRS - SQL Already Installed

If you choose to use an existing SQL Server, you will be prompted for the above information. If you chose to have one installed for you, you can skip this step.
