Centennial Discovery Server also requires Microsoft MDAC 2.8 (shipped with full version of Centennial Discovery)

* If you are upgrading from a previous version of Discovery to Centennial Discovery you will require additional disk space. Please check your database size before upgrading. MSDE SQL 2000 Server has a 2GB database size limit and the upgrade process needs 3 times of the original database size. See 'Minimum System Requirements' in the 'Upgrading to Discovery' document.

† For optimum performance on larger systems, please contact your partner for a personalized recommendation.

In addition, if a pre-4.52 installation is currently installed on a Domain Controller, the installation will have to be moved as the user required for secure communication cannot be created on a Domain Controller. This is because a Domain Controller does not permit local users to be created. A document on moving a Discovery server is available from the Centennial Support Knowledge Base.
