    • in case you upgraded an existing installation to v6.3 you will find here.
      • HKEY_Machine\Software\Kofax\ShareScan or HKEY_Machine\Software\Wow6432Node\Kofax\ShareScan

Please note if you install v6.3 or higher on a clear system it will be not possible to install LocalDB as it is removed!

  • Find "localDbId" key and copy the value [eg: SH8FB6AC]
  • Open SQL Manager Studio
  • Use connection string np:\\.\pipe\LOCALDB#xxxxxxxx\tsql\query where xxxxxxxx is the localDbId key.
    • [eg np:\\.\pipe\LOCALDB#SH8FB6AC\tsql\query]
  • Use windows authentication...

Make sure the windows user has Administrator rights on the PC/Server
