KINGDOM Data Management™, KINGDOM DM Catalog Builder™, KINGDOM 1D Forward Modeling®, KINGDOM Illuminator™, KINGDOM Seeker™, KINGDOM GeoModeling™, and KINGDOM Colored Inversion™ are trademarks of Seismic Micro-Technology, Inc. (SMT), The KINGDOM Company™. General Installing KINGDOM 8.5 SP2 • KINGDOM 8.5 SP2 utilizes the latest Microsoft technology and requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 and other system components. These components will be automatically installed during the KINGDOM installation if not already installed. For this reason, your current version of KINGDOM 8.5 must be completely uninstalled before installing version 8.5 SP2. The KINGDOM installer will automatically uninstall for you and then will proceed with the installation of 8.5 SP2 and required components. • Microsoft SQL Server Express is now automatically installed with KINGDOM unless it is unchecked during installation Notes • • Always back up each project before opening it in a new release. KINGDOM 8.5 is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions: o o • The 32-bit version will hereafter be referred to as “The KINGDOM Software 32-bit” or “KINGDOM-32." The 64-bit version will hereafter be referred to as “The KINGDOM Software 64-bit” or “KINGDOM-64." KINGDOM-64 requires the use of a SQL Server Express, SQL Server, or Oracle database. For more details see the SMT Planning Guide available on the View Resources tab of the Installation Manager. The Planning Guide is also included as a section in the Installation Guide. • KINGDOM-32 and KINGDOM-64 can run standalone on a 64-bit system running Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 with a USB sentinel plug. Parallel port sentinel plugs are not supported on this platform. Contact your marketing representative at 713-464-6188 or
[email protected] if you need a USB plug. Software Download Capability • SMT offers an electronic download capability to obtain this new release via the Internet. Log in to your My Account. Once logged in, click on Downloads and select Latest Release. This will take you to the release page where you can either download the software or select to have a DVD shipped. If you choose get a DVD, SMT will ship to the address that we have in our Customer KINGDOM Software Release Notes for Version 8.5 SP2 September 2010 p. 1 ©2010 Seismic Micro-Technology, Inc. / www.seismicmicro.com Support system.

Compatibility • KINGDOM 8.5 SP2 will not install on: o Windows XP unless Service Pack 2 or later has been installed. o Windows 2000. Users may see error 19 while applying Web Feature Keys when running KINGDOM for the first time with a standalone license on Vista. This can happen when Vista's User Account Control (UAC) is turned on. The default for UAC is enabled. The workaround is to use the right mouse button menu option "Run As Administrator" when starting KINGDOM the first time. SQL Server Users please note: KINGDOM GeoModeling requires SQL Server 2005 SP3 or SQL Server Express 2005 SP3 • • Oracle Users • • KINGDOM is certified on Oracle versions 8.x through 10g. KINGDOM versions 8.5 and later requires Oracle users to have CREATE VIEW System Privileges. Your Oracle DBA may need to add this privilege for each Oracle user before you can open or create KINGDOM projects. Some versions of Oracle do not work with applications installed in directories that contain parentheses. If you are using Oracle as your KINGDOM project database and you are installing KINGDOM 32-bit on a 64-bit operating system, you will need to do one of the following: o Install KINGDOM in a folder without parentheses. (e.g. C:\KingdomSuite). o Install a version of Oracle that does work with parentheses or install patch 5059238 for Oracle client 10.2. • Oracle and SQL Server users • The 8.5 SP2 version of KINGDOM requires that tables be added to the data model. When a project is opened for the first time with 8.5 SP2, the Oracle or SQL Server user must have create table system privileges in order to successfully upgrade the project with the new tables. If your Oracle or SQL Server user can create projects, then you have create table permissions. If your user profile does not have the required permissions, you will get an Insufficient Privileges error message when opening the project. Contact your database administrator to modify the user profile. • SQL Server Express Users • If you install and run SQL Server Express on the same machine as KINGDOM, we recommend Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP2, Windows Vista 64 SP1, or Windows 7 on a workstation with a minimum of 4 GB of physical memory. Also note that performance can be substantially improved for large projects by adding additional RAM. KINGDOM 8.0 and prior cannot open SQL Server Express projects. After a project is converted to SQL Server Express, only KINGDOM 8.1 and later can open the project. • KINGDOM Software Release Notes for Version 8.5 SP2 September 2010 p. 2 com/?kbid=319740#kb4.5 has passed testing on Windows 7 with no known outstanding issues.
