For Clients Using Microsoft Sql Server Express
If your company uses Microsoft’s free version of SQL Server (SQL Express), you must monitor your database sizes to ensure they do not approach the 10 GB limit that Microsoft allows. If your database is approaching this limit, you will need to purchase and install one of the full versions of SQL Server from Microsoft in order to avoid severe system issues that will occur when you reach that limit. This would be handled by your IT department and your Microsoft software vendor.
