Centennial Discovery Server also requires Microsoft MDAC 2.8 (shipped with full version of Centennial Discovery)
* If you are upgrading from a previous version of Discovery to Centennial Discovery you will require additional disk space. Please check your database size before upgrading. MSDE SQL 2000 Server has a 2GB database size limit and the upgrade process needs 3 times of the original database size. See `Minimum System Requirements` in the `Upgrading to Discovery` document.
† For optimum performance on larger systems, please contact your partner for a personalized recommendation.
In addition, if a pre-4.52 installation is currently installed on a Domain Controller, the installation will have to be moved as the user required for secure communication cannot be created on a Domain Controller. This is because a Domain Controller does not permit local users to be created. A document on moving a Discovery server is available from the Centennial Support Knowledge Base. (http://support.centennial-software.com)
Discovery Administration Control Center
All language versions require Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, Professional or Windows 2003 SP1.

Supported Databases
Discovery 2007 may be used in conjunction with either Microsoft SQL 2000 (MSDE, Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition and 64-bit for Itanium Edition) or Microsoft SQL Server 2005 ( Express, Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition).
In the event of using SQL 2000 or 2005, Centennial advise that the appropriate MS SQL 2000 is on a Per Processor basis. A Processor license includes access for an unlimited number of devices or users to connect from either inside the corporate LAN or WAN or outside the firewall. For further details the Microsoft website carries current information about licensing options.
