Version 7 Deployment Changes

All support for any 32bit OS has been dropped.

All support for Desktop OS’s prior to Windows 10 and Server OS’s prior to 2012 R2 have been dropped.

.Net 4.8 Must be installed prior to any Version 7 installer. Because it is no longer installed as a Windows Feature it cannot be included directly in our installers as a pre-requisite. Failure to do so will prevent license activation of a node-locked license and all UI’s will fail to run due to its dependency on this version of .Net.

All high-permission requirement database actions (create, initialize and update) for Pro and Enterprise are moved to a separate installer that is run once per environment. This installer is called ScrewDriversDatabase_7.X.X.<build>_x64.exe. The main installer ScrewDriversProOrEnterprise_7.X.X.<build>_x64.exe now only requires basic read and write access to the Tricerat database.

Authorization for ScrewDrivers Administration is now built in as a core feature. This feature gets initialized when running the ScrewDrivers Database installer. Initially all Domain Admins, the Local Admins for the machine where the installer is run and the user actually running the Database installer will have Super Admin permissions. From there you can give out permissions to other users via the Permissions tab in ScrewDrivers Administration.
