VUM Requirements?

I have a Windows 2008 R2 server where vSphere 5.5 used to run. I moved to VCSA when we migrated to vSphere 6.0, but I'm still using the Windows server for Update Manager. What are the minimum SQL requirements for Update Manager?

I'm getting security notices for MS SQL Server 2005, which I suspect was installed for the previous vcenter setup. I also have SQL Server 2008 R2, and several versions of MS Visual C++ Redistributable (2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013). Can I safely dump any of these without affecting VUM? SQL Server 2005 has to go since I'm getting flagged for it, but I'd like to get rid of anything else that isn't required for my environment.

Tx.
