SME 7.1 uses the Common Language Runtime or ‘clr’ for business logic processing. The ‘clr’ must be enabled on the server instance hosting the SME database prior to launching the update.

# Open MS SQL Management Studio and run the following queries:

* To check if ‘clr’ is enabled – if not enabled proceed to step b

SELECT name,description, value_in_use

FROM sys.configurations

WHERE name = 'clr enabled'

'''and value_in_use = 1'''

* If the ‘clr’ is enabled you will see the following in the results window:

[[File:ResultsWindow.png]]
c. If you do not see the above message ‘clr’ is not enabled and you will need to run the following query:

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;

GO

RECONFIGURE;

GO

sp_configure 'clr enabled', 1;

GO

RECONFIGURE;

GO

<br>2. Close Management Studio

<br>3. SME requires exclusive access to the database while performing the update. To ensure that the database is available for exclusive access run the following SQL query:

USE master;

GO

ALTER DATABASE dbName

SET SINGLE_USER

WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;

GO

ALTER DATABASE dbName

SET MULTI_USER;

GO

<br>4. Close Management Studio
