Supported database servers

SDL Trados GroupShare supports the following SQL Server versions:

  • SQL Server 2019
  • SQL Server 2017
  • SQL Server 2016
  • SQL Server 2014

SDL recommends that you use the latest SP versions of SQL Server 2019, 2017, 2016 and 2014. SDL Trados GroupShare may have performance issues if you use earlier versions of these SQL Server releases.

Make sure that the SQL Server that you use for running SDL Trados GroupShare has the full text search engine installed. MultiTerm requires this for fully supporting the Full Text Search option.

If you plan to use SQL Express, make sure that you use the Advanced Services edition.

For SQL Express 2016, see for instance Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Express site. For more information on the prerequisites required for installation, see the SDL Trados GroupShare 2017 SR1 Installation Guide.
