Installing Vault Pro Server and SQL

It’s time to lay the groundwork for your PDM environment. In this combined session, Jose Paredes-Clara from KETIV’s Data Management team walks through the full setup process—from preparing your SQL Server instance to installing and configuring Autodesk Vault Professional.

We’ll start with the foundation: how to choose the right SQL Server edition, install a new instance (or upgrade an existing one), and make sure it’s tuned and ready for Vault. From there, we move into the full Vault Professional installation journey. You’ll see how to grab the installation media, run prerequisite checks, apply updates, create your first Vault, and deploy the Vault client to your users.

If you’re an IT admin, CAD manager, or anyone responsible for getting Vault up and running in your environment, this gives you the complete, start-to-finish workflow. No guesswork. No skipped steps. Just a straightforward walkthrough to get your Vault server installed correctly and confidently the first time.
