2018.1

1.
Run the Update to Connect 1.6. This will assume the local MySQL database needs to
be updated and configured, so the user has to enter a root password on the MySQL
Configuration Page (can be any password matching Connect security rules).
2.
After the update, the Connect 1.6 Setup needs to be run once more to modify Connect.
3.
On the Product Selection page, now the MySQL product can be unselected.
4. When stepping forward in the Wizard, the DB Configuration page will be displayed which
allows to configure the Microsoft SQL Server with appropriate settings.
After this modification, the local MySQL is removed, and also the service dependency from
Server to MySQL is removed.
Note
If Connect was initially installed not containing the local MySQL product (i.e. on 1.5
installation an external MySQL was configured as database), then the Update to 1.6 will
allow to select either external MySQL or external Microsoft SQL on the DB Configuration
Page.
Environment Considerations
Virtual Machine Support
PlanetPress Connect supports VMWare Workstation, VMWare Server, VMWare Player,
VMWare ESX (including VMotion), Microsoft Hyper-V and Microsoft Hyper-V/Azure
infrastructure environments as software installed on the Guest operating system.
Warning
Copying (duplicating) a Virtual Machine with Connect installed and using both images
simultaneously constitutes an infringement of our End-User License Agreement.
Note
While some virtual machine environments (from VMWare and Microsoft) are supported,
