Thank you for choosing StoreApp. You have made a very good decision for your business.

The StoreApp application is a simple lightweight program that allows you enter your business data, processes them and gives you needed information about your business. StoreApp application itself does not store any of those data. The data is stored in a separate but connected program called a database manager. There are so many database manager in the market today but we (Clearwox) use Microsoft SQL server (MSSQL server).

The summary of this installation is that you need to install Microsoft SQL server on one of your computers (called SERVER) and StoreApp application and also complete some settings which will enable both of them to communicate. So here is a check list of all you have to do to start using StoreApp.

Note that you do not need to be a computer Guru to install StoreApp, all you need is to follow the guide carefully.

Perform the following installations and settings on the server computer:

1. Install Microsoft SQL sever on the server computer: the server computer must at least have the following specification. You will also need a good internet connection.
