Downloading a DeltaV 9.x workstation adds DeltaV users to the AMS Device Manager
database, but the users must be manually added to the AMSDeviceManager
Windows group. Contact your IT department for assistance.
DeltaV Upgrade Wizard
The DeltaV Upgrade Wizard automates the process of upgrading a DeltaV Station
from an earlier version and ensures that crucial steps are performed. Do not run the
DeltaV Upgrade Wizard before uninstalling AMS Device Manager. If you run the
DeltaV Upgrade Wizard first, AMS Device Manager will not function as expected and
a PC restart may be needed before AMS Device Manager can be uninstalled.
Uninstalling DeltaV software
To uninstall DeltaV on a station that has AMS Device Manager co-deployed, you must
uninstall AMS Device Manager first and then DeltaV. You can then reinstall AMS
Device Manager. If you uninstall DeltaV first, AMS Device Manager will not function as
expected.
If you have co-deployed AMS Device Manager on domain controllers and non-domain
controllers, you must remove AMS Device Manager from all non-domain controllers
first, then from all backup/secondary domain controllers, and then from the primary
domain controller. Uninstall DeltaV only after AMS Device Manager has been
uninstalled on all PCs.
Note
Each time a ProfessionalPLUS Station is downloaded, some DeltaV user permissions
overwrite AMS Device Manager user permissions (System Administrator, Device Write,
Device SIS Write, Device Assignment).
