Faronics Core supports SQL from 2008 to 2022 as a platform to host its database.
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (all editions)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (all editions)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (all editions)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Express or Microsoft SQL Server 2016 R2 Express
• Microsoft SQL Server 2019 (all editions)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2022 (all editions)
Faronics Core can use and support multiple editions of SQL Server, including the Express edition. If using Core to manage a larger number of machines Faronics recommends using a full edition of SQL as opposed to the Express editions as the express editions have memory and disk space limitations that may impact the performance of the Core Server.
Other editions of SQL such as MySQL are not supported.
