RentalPoint is a true multi-user access system that uses MS SQL. RentalPoint migrated from flat file technology to MS SQL from 2001 to 2003. With over 3 years of development, the entire back end of the application was rewritten. RentalPoint now uses more than 100 stored procedures, views and functions. This provides the ultimate performance in an SQL environment.
RentalPoint is compatible with MSDE, SQL 2000, SQL 2005, SQL 2005 Express, SQL 2008 and SQL2008 Express. We currently recommend MS SQL 2005 Express. This version can be downloaded for FREE (fully licensed, without any evaluation period or expiry date), from the Microsoft web site.

64 Bit Operating Systems
RentalPoint has been tested and verified with 64 bit architecture on Windows Server 2008.
There are different versions of 64 bit architecture currently available on the market. There is the x64 and i64, note that you will need to acquire OS and SQL versions pertaining to the specific architectures.
64 bit architectures require more robust systems and even though the minimum specifications for RentalPoint may have been met this does not translate to the requirements being met for the OS and/or SQL server.
