Installation Prerequisites

Download Installer #

Sign into the TAD Client Portal and go to the Transfer All Data section to download the installer. You will also need the Serial Number.

Additional Cloud Items #

  • TLS Database Endpoint or IPSEC VPN
    • You must have one of these options in place so that you can communicate with your Cloud server.
    • If you do not have either, submit a support ticket to Trimble with a subject of “We need a TLS Database Endpoint setup to connect to our Cloud server”. Support will work with your IT to get that in place.
    • Once the Endpoint is established you will receive the server which will be needed for the installation
      • Ideal format: AAAA-sql.viewpointdata.cloud, ####
      • If your value looks like AAAA-sql.viewpointdata.cloud port- #### then you will replace the port- with a comma.
    • View the Vista Cloud FAQ for Transfer All Data
  • SQL Account
    • You need one main SQL Account with permissions to install TAD on your SQL Database.
    • All other users just need the SQL Account.
    • Follow the Create SQL Account instructions to add a SQL Account in Vista.
    • Once that account is created, submit a support ticket to Trimble with a subject of “Please grant db_owner permisisons to SQL Account <your_new_account> on the Viewpoint and VPAttachment databases.  Also, remove the VCSUsers permission on the Viewpoint database.”
