To work in the LoMag environment, we need the Microsoft SQL Server database system. By default, when you download the LoMag software, the database system is already attached to LoMag installer. Thus you do not need its separate installation. But LoMag install Microsoft server 2005 during downloding and if you need higher or update version then separate installation is necessary. To install or update Microsoft SQL Server for the 2012 version, please download and run: or directly install from the Microsoft website by using .
After pressing the "Download" button, the website will show you the list of proposed files. Choose either 'SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe' or 'SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.exe' file depending on system's requirement. In our case, we have downloaded the SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe file.
