SQL Server Support:
User 'Logins' and Passwords:
With Director V4.10, your company's IT
department can optionally take charge of the
database under SQL Server. (This feature has
also been referred to as "Open Database".) If
you select this feature, you will be asked to
enter some new passwords, or optionally enter
some custom login information that was set up
at the SQL Server PC.
MS SQL Server Applications: Beginning with V4.7, the
Guardall Director software uses Microsoft SQL Server
2005 Express, and requires dedicated access to this
component. You may not be able to run other software
applications (on the same PC) that also use this
component. Exception
: If you select SQL Server
support during the installation, the database will be
managed through an MS SQL Server (2000 or 2005)
PC, and you will be prompted to provide passwords that
allow the Director software to connect with its database.
Other advanced database features also require user
'logins' to be defined. For a typical system (i.e., not
SQL-server), these must be entered manually.

Software Installation for a
Fresh/New System
Notes:
Panel & Software Revisions: Beginning with v3.20,
the Guardall Director software is compatible with
panel firmware v2.0 and higher (although some
features will require updating the panel firmware
and/or modules).
Associated panels must be the same rev. level, and
the Director software must typically be upgraded to
the same level or higher.
Notes
: Panels V3.3 are required for IP-related
features. V1.x and older legacy panels must be
upgraded or replaced (refer to the instructions
provided with your panel upgrade kit).
Client/Server Tip: When installing a multi-PC
system, the software is typically installed first at the
Guardall Director server, and then at the client PCs.
Note
: Client PCs cannot be used until the server is
up and running, and the client PCs have been
identified to the server--as per references below.
Client-server operation is supported through your
'activation key' and 'license-manager' software.
Director Server and Workstations
: The Director
server PC is not to be confused with your network
server PC, or any network-related components,
software, or drivers. Director Server
: The
(networked) PC that includes "...Director-Server.exe";
Director Client-Workstation
: Any networked PC that
contains the Guardall Director main program
(operator client). Tip: With the applicable software
installed, the Director server PC can also be used as
an operator workstation.
Activation Key
: The activation key provided with
the software provides 90 days of operation with
standard features. For additional features, client-
server operation, or extended duration, you must
run the license-manager program (after installing
the software). For details, refer to "Software
Activation and Licensing".

you see this when starting the Director software,
(re)install the Microsoft DAO software from the
Guardall Director CD (d:\Guardall Director
Setup\DAO\setup.exe).
