SMART PLANT INSTALLATION

1) Please note that MSSQL latest version is 2012. Following steps to install MSSQL 2008
are still practical because it is similar to version 2012.
2) Method to install MSSQL to Smart Plant 3D are different with Smart Plant 2D
applications.
3) Microsoft .NET 4.0 for database server is a must for Smart 3D 2014. Update the .NET
to version 4.0 for MSSQL 2008 or lower.
4) Adobe Reader is a usual requirement for SPLM.

SMART 3D (2014)
