Many SSI users of Altium cannot install database libraries (used for resistors and capacitors) by default. Installing [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23734 this driver] typically resolves the issue. Make sure to get the 64-bit version if using Altium 18.0 or later. You may need to uninstall and then reinstall the dblibs after installing the driver before they work.

====Get credentials====
A large number of people were automatically given SVN credentials. If you did not, message {{slack-user|svn-admin}} in {{slack-channel|altium}} requesting them. You will need to enter your username and very long and complicated password the first time you try to download an SVN but it will then be saved on your computer. Thanks to HTTPS/SSL, your password is never transmitted or stored in plain form, including when its checked on the server or in Slack (which is encrypted).
