# SQL CobbleStone Database Installation

After setting up your SQL management studio as per CobbleStone® requirements in the [SQL Server Install Article](/v1/docs/sql-management-studio), run the DB_Installer executable that was sent from CobbleStone®.

Keeping the name of the database as Contract Insight in the “Database” section below is recommended.

- Run create database Script (seen above)
- Run activation codes script (This script will be sent to you in a separate email as this changes due to company and license).
- Very rarely the specific server’s name along with username and password could be needed.

### Create Hangfire Database

Create an empty database for Hangfire. Most of the time it should be contractinsight_hangfire. If the customer chooses to name database differently then take the name they use and add _hangfire (Underscore hangfire)

### Set Up Permissions/User for SQL

Navigate to General Security, then logins.

**For Windows authentication/trusted connection:**
