Activating a PAM Version
The PAM InstallShield Wizard automatically creates a shortcut to the PAM Activation utility
on the PAP unit desktop that can be used at any time to activate an installed PAM Version.
Note:
A previous PAM Version can be re–activated at any time, in the event of a problem with the
current release.
To activate / re–activate a PAM Version:
1. From the local PAP unit console, power down all server domains and close the current
PAM session.
2. From the PAM Activation utility on the Microsoft Windows desktop, select the required
PAM Version and click Activate to launch the PAM Activation InstallShield Wizard.
3. Select Complete to accept the default paths for the PAM Release and PAM Site Data
folders:
The default PAM Release directory for all the files delivered as part of PAM software is:
<WinDrive>:\Program Files\BULL\PAM\<Release Version>
(e.g. d:\Program Files\BULLl\PAM\6.1.0).
The default PAM Site Data directory for all the files produced by PAM software (history
files, configuration files) concerning Customer site definition and activity is:
<WinDrive>:\Program Files\BULL\PAM\PAMSiteData\<DataCompatibilityRelease>
(e.g. d:\Program Files\BULL\PAM\PAMSiteData\1).

Important:
PAM releases use the same data directory to ensure configuration consistency.
Before activating / re–activating a PAM Version, ensure that the <Data Compatibility
Release> level of deployed releases is compatible.
If it is NOT compatible, PAM configuration options (e.g. Event subscription options)
may be lost.
4. Click Install to begin activation.
