    Management Service

    SQL Server

    You must have access to Microsoft SQL Server on either your local computer, network, or hosted service.

    If using a separate web server (machine hosting IIS) and application server (machine where KnowledgeSync service is installed), both must have the SQL Server Client installed.

    Crystal Reports

    KnowledgeSync V10 requires and will install Crystal Reports Runtime 13.0.20 to render Crystal Reports. However, if there is already an existing version of the Crystal Reports runtime on the machine, the KnowledgeSync installer will not prompt to install version 13.0.20. This could cause issues generating reports through KnowledgeSync.

    Any newer Crystal Reports runtime versions (13.0.21 and higher) are not compatible.  Some older Crystal Reports runtime versions will work.  If an application on the server requires a newer Crystal Reports runtime, install KnowledgeSync on a separate server.

    WinWrap

    WinWrap is the scripting engine used by KnowledgeSync V10. This product uses WinWrap® Basic, Copyright 1993-2017 Polar Engineering, Inc., http://www.winwrap.com/.
