This document assumes that you are installing the Perceptive Content Database for the first time and that you are not already running an earlier version of Perceptive Content.
Before you install, verify that your system meets the requirements in the Product Content Technical Specifications. Then, verify your product compatibility outside of Perceptive Content, such as the compatibility between the service pack level of the operating system and the version for your specific relational database management system (RDBMS). Supported RDBMS platforms include SQL Server, Oracle and PostgreSQL.
Prior to installation, we recommend reading the Perceptive Content Best Practices Guide for the system you are installing.
