Important Note: Before you upgrade to PowerSchool SMS 8.4.3, you must install the full version of .Net Framework 4.5. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653 and follow the download instructions. .NET Framework 4.5 must be installed on both the database server and the web/application server.

To complete the installation of the PowerSchool SMS Web Server, you need the following:

= A local machine account, with administrative privileges.
= The Database Server name, or IP address, and the SQL Server system administrator user name and password.
= The PowerSchool SMS database name, the Windows domain, user name, and password for the PowerSchool SMS Database Server.

Note: Before you upgrade the PowerSchool SMS Web Server, ensure you have removed the previous web installer [see Step 2: Remove the existing web installer >>].

Note: Districts can secure a Web Server using SSL. You will need a security certificate for each web site. For more information, refer to Securing the Web Server using Secure Socket Layer (optional) [>>].
