This is the first Conquest III release to include all of the Administrative functionality for the Asset Management Knowledge Base. Software and Database Management tools, as they were known in Conquest II, are no longer required. Please contact Conquest Support, if further details are needed.
This release does not cover Conquest Map and CMTPC, which will continue to require at least one Conquest II workstation to be available to support them.
Prerequisites:
The changes made in this release of Conquest III match Conquest II V2.59a3. If your Conquest II version is earlier than 2.59a1, a Custom install of Conquest II V2.59a3 must be performed on at least one workstation, to obtain the SQL scripts required to update the database to version 2.59. After the database update, the Conquest II “Refresh System Objects” function must be performed before Conquest III is installed.
