* Microsoft SQL Server Express editions, while supported, limit the database size, memory/CPU usage, and management tools available as part of the MS SQL product. Your LightWork database does not require the missing management tools to function but does require SQL Server Management Studio to be installed along with the server. Depending on your external HRMS system, a 32-bit version of SQL may be recommended for compatibility with data drivers to integrate with your LightWork software.
