Installation

SchemaSync Professional ships as a signed Windows installer. The current release is 1.4.2, published on 2026-07-14. The .NET 8 desktop runtime it needs is bundled, so no separate download is required.

Before you start

• Windows 10 version 1809 or later, 64-bit, or Windows 11.
• 250 MB of free disk space, plus room for any backups you plan to keep.
• Network access to the databases you intend to compare, or an SSH host that has it.

Verify the download

Every installer publishes a SHA-256 checksum on the download page. Confirming it takes a few seconds and rules out a corrupted or substituted file.

Install

1. 1

   Run the installer

   Double-click the .exe. If Windows SmartScreen shows a warning, choose More info and then Run anyway — the file is code-signed, and you have already verified its checksum.

2. 2

   Choose the installation scope

   Per-user installs into your local application data folder and needs no administrator rights. Per-machine makes the application available to every user on the computer and does require elevation.

3. 3

   Finish and launch

   The application starts in trial mode with the full feature set available. Nothing needs to be configured before your first comparison.

Unattended installation

For deployment through Intune, SCCM or a scripted image, the installer accepts silent switches.

Uninstalling

Remove the application from Windows Settings, under Apps. Saved connections, snapshots and backups are left on disk deliberately — delete %APPDATA%\SchemaSync yourself if you want them gone.
