Integrating with existing site

I'm kind of new to the .net world and just wanted to make sure I understood what I was reading.
 
We have an existing website, using NOPeccommerce. Our users login in to the store, and our web application, using 1 userid/password. So I can add the forum and have it use the SAME userid and password?
 
We're using MSSQLEXPRESS and are currently at 5GB. THe limit for MSSQLEXPRESS is 10GB. How many GB will the forum add. I know this depends on the number of message, but I'm looking at 10 categories, with anywhere from 4 to 35 forums in each category.
 
Although I have little .net/aspx experience, I am an experience programmer and have experience with sql. How hard will it be for me to install this software on our server. (BTW it's running .net 2.0)

    Thanks Chris for your interest first. Let me answer your questions one-by-one:
    1. Yes. I don't know about NOPecommerce, but we do support integration with external database. The details are here:
      http://www.aspplayground....-database-m397994.aspx
    2. The forum itself is not using a lot of database space at all. 5GB will host millions of posts for you. If you turn the database to "Simple Recovery" mode, it will take even less space.
    3. Installation is pretty straightforward. 1) upload files via FTP 2) Run a web based setup program to install database 3) Installation completed -> you can then configure the software by logging in to the Admin Control Panel.
    4. The software (version 3.9) supports only ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 (which is compatible with ASP.NET 2.0) and ASP.NET 4.0, so you will need to upgrade your .NET framework. You can use multi-targeting to keep your site and forum running on different .NET versions.

    Hi Samuel
     
    Thanks for the information.
     
    Our web site allows access to various sections of the site, based on the product purchased and the validity of a license. Once the license expires, they can no longer access that section of the site. Would we be able to add that ability to the forum? The only people we want to access the forum are people who have a valid license for Product ABC.

    You can create private forums w/ private user group access. Then, when someone's license expires, you can use the Role Manager of our Site Integration Package to remove a user from the user group programmatically.
     
    The Role Manager is a .NET Role Provider you reference and use on your own page. Of course, you can access the admincp to manually remove users too.
