Note

If you are restoring a database that was created on a different PC and you want to retain the

Device Monitor List and Alert Monitor alerts, before you restore the database on the new

station, ensure that the names of the PC and system interfaces configured on the new

station are the same as the original station.

If performing a database restore on a Windows 7/Windows 2008 Server or Windows 8/

Windows 2012 Server PC with User Account Control enabled, log in with a username

included in the AmsDeviceManager Windows group to avoid multiple error messages.
