Technical Details
Read this section only if you need more technical details about the GLOBODOX databases…
A new installation of GLOBODOX sets up a MS Access based database (you do not need MS Access installed on the machine). Though this simplifies the GLOBODOX installation, GLOBODOX works best with MS SQL Server Express Edition, MS SQL Server and MYSQL based databases. The Globodox DB Engine Installer installs MS SQL Server Express Edition 2014 and converts all the existing MS Access based DBs.
