Upgrading from AMS Wireless Configurator
To install an AMS Device Manager Server Plus or Client SC Station on a PC that has
AMS Wireless Configurator installed:
1. Open the Windows Control Panel and use Add or Remove Programs (XP) or
Programs and Features (Windows 7/Windows 8) to remove AMS Wireless
Configurator.
2. Obtain new license codes for AMS Device Manager (see “Licensing a Distributed
System” on page 57).
3. Install AMS Device Manager (see “Installing Server Plus Station software” on
page 51 or “Installing Client SC Station software” on page 54).
4. If you installed a Server Plus Station in step 3, restore your backed up database
(see “Restoring a database” on page 16).
If you installed a Client SC Station in step 3, you may need to consolidate your backed-
up AMS Wireless Configurator database with an existing database (if so, refer to
“Consolidating databases” on page 48).
