Licensing AMS Device Manager 12.5 on
Ovation stations
When you install AMS Device Manager on an Ovation station, the installation
program checks for the presence of an AMS Device Manager license.dat file. If the
license.dat file is found, you are granted all the permissions associated with the
license. If you do not have a license.dat file, see
“Licensing a Distributed System” on
page 57. After you have received the appropriate licensing information, install AMS
Device Manager as described beginning on page 70.
Installing AMS Device Manager 12.5 on
Ovation stations
AMS Device Manager 12.5 can be installed on Ovation 3.3.1 and newer stations as
outlined on
page 34. AMS Device Manager stations can also be installed on separate
PCs and access Ovation information through the Ovation System Interface. To ensure
a properly co-deployed installation, Ovation must be installed before AMS Device
Manager.
In a typical Ovation 3.3.1 or 3.4 deployment using FOUNDATION fieldbus devices, the
AMS Device Manager Server Plus software would be installed on the Ovation station
that also has the fieldbus engineering software installed. AMS Device Manager Client
SC software would be installed on other supported Ovation station types in the
network. This deployment gives all connected stations access to both AMS Device
Manager and Ovation databases.
In a typical Ovation 3.5 deployment using FOUNDATION fieldbus devices, the AMS
Device Manager Client SC software would be installed on the Ovation Database
Server. Other AMS Device Manager Client SC station and the Server Plus station
software would be installed on Ovation Operator stations in the network. This
deployment gives all connected stations access to both AMS Device Manager and
Ovation databases.
Before you install AMS Device Manager on your Ovation stations, ensure that you
have all the proper AMS Device Manager and Ovation licensing and installation
instructions (see
“Licensing AMS Device Manager 12.5 on Ovation stations” on page
70).
To install Server Plus software on a supported Ovation station, see“Installing Server
Plus Station software” on page 51. To install Client SC software on a supported
Ovation station, see “Installing Client SC Station software” on page 54.
Note
If you are installing AMS Device Manager on any domain controller stations, refer to
“Installing AMS Device Manager on domain controllers” on page 65.
