database, on the PC to be used as the “Server” then do the Client installation on all other PCs which will access this
database over the network.

->DatabaseManagementUtility to change/backup/restore/migrate your database.
An existing licensed SQL Server can be selected during installation of Compass , see the installation guide on
the Compass CD for more information
