-
New Users
-
If no previous version of a SQL server is detected, or if you are not connecting to an existing remote SQL instance, Microsoft ® SQL Server 2012 Express service pack 2 is installed by default.

When using the Autodesk Data Management Server on a workstation operating system, it can support approximately ten simultaneous vault clients. Additional users can be supported by installing the Autodesk Data Management Server on a Windows server operating system.
