You need to install a copy of SQL Server. You may want to install SQL Server on a computer within your LAN and share the data between all installed instances of your software. You can also choose to install a local copy of SQL server which enables you to keep your application data private.

If you want to install SQL Server on a local computer you may want SQL Server Express which is a light version with limited capabilities, but perfect for storing application data.

Hop it helped!

Have a look at this White Paper: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb264562(v=sql.90).aspx[^]. It's targeting SQL Server Express 2005 but 2008 version is quite similar if you use that.
