Licensing AMS Device Manager 12.5 on DeltaV
stations
If you have licensed your AMS Device Manager 12.5 software, you see a full-function
application when you launch the product. If not licensed, you can use a limited AMS
Device Manager feature set provided with each DeltaV installation. If this is your
situation, refer to the DeltaV Books Online for information.
When you install AMS Device Manager on a DeltaV Simulate Multi-node system, the
installation program checks for the presence of a DeltaV Simulate ID key (VX dongle).
If the Simulate ID key is found, AMS Device Manager licensing is enabled. Otherwise,
the installation program looks for an AMS Device Manager license.dat file. If the
license.dat file is found, you are granted the permissions associated with the license.
If no license.dat file is found, a subset of AMS Device Manager functionality is
available.
There are a number of licensing considerations when you install AMS Device Manager
on a DeltaV station. To ensure that your installation functions as you expect, please
contact your Emerson Process Management Sales/Service Office. After you have
received the appropriate licensing information and AMS Device Manager setup
instructions for your situation, install AMS Device Manager as described beginning on
page 68.
