## Control CheckPoint™ Database Configuration

Once you decide which database engine you will use, you must set-up and configure the database. This is accomplished in two phases.

1. Deploy the database. In the case of Microsoft Access, this is as simple as dropping the empty CheckPoint database we provide into a directory accessible on your web-server. In the case of Microsoft SQL Server, you must run a provided SQL script to create and initialize the database.

2. Configure the CheckPoint License Server. Once the database is deployed, you will simply run the SoftwareShield License Manager and invoke the CheckPoint Remote Administrator to connect to the CheckPoint server. The server will detect that the database needs to be configured and will walk you through the process.

Once deployed and configured correctly, every time you invoke the CheckPoint Server Remote Administrator the database configuration will be checked and reported in the License Manager's user interface.

For security reasons, it is important to perform these tasks right after one another.
