Will Business Protection database run on SQL Server 2005?

Avast Business Avast Endpoint Protection
1

I know I can install SQL Server Express 2008 along with any other SQL server version and run multiple instances. What I would like to know is if I didn’t want another instance of SQL, would Business Protection be able to use an existing SQL Server 2005?

Thanks,
John
