PowerSchool SMS 8.0 is compatible with SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008 (SP2 64-bit or R2 64-bit). If your system is running Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or 2005 with a Chancery SMS version older than 6.7.3, and you want to upgrade to SQL Server 2008, refer to Installing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 [>>].
If your system is running a Chancery SMS version older than 6.7.3, and you want to upgrade to SQL Server 2008 SP2 64-bit or R2 64-bit at the same time that you upgrade to PowerSchool SMS 8.0, you must first upgrade to PowerSchool SMS 6.7.3, then install SQL Server 2008 and SP2, before you upgrade to PowerSchool SMS 8.0. See also Upgrading older versions of SMS [>>].
If your system is running Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and you are not prepared to upgrade to SQL Server 2008, you should not upgrade to PowerSchool SMS 8.0. If you have any questions or concerns, contact Technical Support [see >>].
