Register CustomTools Database

In order to be able to use CustomTools you need to have at least one database registered for the CustomTools. The registered databases are shown in the Database View tree.

When you create a new database, it is automatically registered on its creation process. The databases created with the older CustomTools version, are also automatically detected and registered during the CustomTools upgrade installation.

Info NOTE: Making a side-by-side installation does not register the older version databases to use of the newer CustomTools version.


Registering CustomTools database:
