NOTE: Predator personnel are available to assist but we do not provide DBA level of support. TLS support is included as a standard v11 feature but it is optional and not required. TLS provides enhanced security between Predator applications and Microsoft SQL Server. TLS operation is recommended by Predator Software and can be implemented during the installation of each Predator application. Predator applications support database user connections via SQL authentication, integrated Windows security or a specific functional Windows user. Non Windows based applications such as Predator MDC for Android require mixed mode authentication to be enabled and a SQL user.
NOTE: Microsoft SQL Server Express versions are not recommended for Predator MDC customers with a large number of machines or those with short cycle times.

NOTE: Predator personnel are available to assist but we do not provide DBA level of support. Oracle editions of Predator applications require the Oracle Database Client for Microsoft Windows (32 bit) to be installed on all appropriate PCs. Predator installs do not include the Oracle Database Client for Microsoft Windows which can be downloaded from Oracle's web site.
NOTE: Oracle Express versions are not recommended for Predator MDC customers with a large number of machines or those with short cycle times.
