CredoID_4.x.x_setup.exe
CredoID installer might not start if there are "pending" Windows updates. Make sure you have latest Windows updates installed.
- Select installation options:
- CredoID Service
Required option to install main CredoID component as a Windows service.
- Pre-configured Microsoft SQL Express 2017
Check this option if you want MS SQL database server installed. It will be automatically selected when MS SQL is already present on the server workstation.
Do not select this option if you are going to use your own MS SQL server.

¶ First Launch
¶ With pre-configured database
After succesful installation you will be greeted with login screen.
Default credentials are:
- Username: admin
- Password: admin
It is highly recommended to change default password immediately after first launch.
¶ Without pre-configured database
If you have chosen to install only service part and use your own database, then DB setup screen will be shown.
MS SQL database setup:
- SOURCE : Hostname or IP address. If DB is on the same server, use
.\instead of localhost. - PORT : Port of the database, not required if default port
1433is used. - DATABASE : Database name. It will be created automatically.
- USER : User to connect to the database.
dbcreatorserver role is required when starting fresh. - PASSWORD : User password to connect to the database.
Click "Update settings" to check connection and continue to login screen.
¶ Upgrade
While upgrades are generally safe and it's very unlikely that it would result in data loss, it's your responsibility to have a proper backup of your database before performing an upgrade. Note that it's not possible to go back to a previous version of CredoID once the database schema has been upgraded.
Please contact us if you want to upgrade from version 2.X or 3.X.
The process of upgrade is very straight forward.
