When you run this, you can see that the publisher is SUBRIS GmbH. Depending on the Windows version, you may have to click on “… more options” and then on “run anyway”. The execution of individual virus protection programs can also be prevented. You can also classify the downloaded file as “Safe” there.
Required Permissions
The installation program can be run both as a user and as an administrator. The program will try to start with the highest privileges, which may mean that a message will appear asking if you want to run the program as an administrator. If the installer is run as a user, the installed programs are accessible only to the user.
Query license key
When you start the installer for the first time, you will be asked for the license key. You can find this in the web application under “System settings” and you can copy it directly from there.
The possible installation options are displayed based on your license key. If you have an on-premise version, you can carry out the complete system installation using the installer.

Windows Features on Windows 7
- Install the IIS role (server operating systems) or the Windows feature (client operating systems) on the system where one or more websites are to run. manual
During installation, select application support for .Net 4.5 or newer in addition to the normal server. Also, enable the Management Console to manage the website. - Now download the ems installation program from the subris.ch website in the Downloads area.

Install the SQL Server with the default settings. However, it is important to select “Mixed Mode” as the authentication mode. - Start the installation program a second time and now activate all required components on the “Server Applications” page on the “Client Applications” page.
After installation, the downloaded components must be configured.
Configuration of the components
SQL Server configuration
- Start the management console of the SQL Server and connect to the corresponding SQL Server.
- Restore the database from the download. manual
You should use “EMSxxxP” as the database name. Where xxx corresponds to the system number. - We recommend setting up a backup.
- After restoring the database, the downloaded “*.bak” file can be deleted.
IIS website configuration
- Start the management console of the IIS server.
- The “standard page” is not required and can be deleted if required.
- Now add all websites to the IIS server. manual
