Before You Begin

Before you install kHold'em , check the following prerequisites

The machine on which you plan to install kHold'em must meet the system requirements. For more information, see System Requirements.
The user account that you plan to use for installation must have sufficient permissions. For more information, see Required Permissions.
infrastructure components communicate with each other over specific ports. These ports must be open. For more information, see Used Ports.

Configuration Database

Before deploying kHold'em, decide which version of Microsoft SQL Server you need to use:

If you do not prepare an SQL Server in advance, kHold'em will install an Express Edition of SQL Server 2017 (x64 processor) or SQL Server 2008 (x86 processor) ,which is limited to store 10 GB of database. L'Express Edition is enough also for large poker rooms.
If your infrastructure already has an SQL Server, you may consider to use the same SQL Server to store the data produced by kHold'em.

To prevent SQL Server installation during setup, run the downloaded setup program from the command line with the / NOSQL parameter

If Microsoft SQL Server is installed from a previous version of the product, kHold'em installer will connect to the existing database , will update it (if necessary) and use it.

Use of Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition is limited by database size up to 10GB. If you plan to have larger databases, use others editions of Microsoft SQL Server.
