sorry to quote from the RTFM
Installing MS-SQL
You must install MS-SQL before you install any of the IP Office Customer Call Reporter application components. During installation of the IP Office Customer Call Reporter application, the system requests access information for the database and tests the entered credentials in order to complete the IP Office Customer Call Reporter installation.
The MS-SQL can either be the free MS-SQL Express Edition or a licensed edition of MS-SQL. For details of the differences, see Database Requirements.
• If you are using MS-SQL Express Edition, install it on the same system as the main IP Office Customer Call Reporter application components.
• If you are using a licensed edition of MS-SQL, install it on the IP Office Customer Call Reporter server or on a separate system on the network. If you want to install the licensed edition of the MS-SQL on a separate system, then first install the IP Office Customer Call Reporter Database component on that system separately from the other IP Office Customer Call Reporter components. For more information, see Distributed Installation.
Installing Microsoft Express MS-SQL
If you are installing a licensed Microsoft SQL Edition, refer to the installation instruction that comes with the software.
Note: IP Office Customer Call Reporter requires the MS-SQL Server instance to support the Mixed Mode (Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication) access.
