This section describes the procedures for upgrading from AVEVA NET Portal to AIM and also from existing versions of AIM to newer versions.
Important:
-
Before upgrading to the latest version of AIM, ensure that Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Package (x64) is installed on the AIM web server.
-
If you already have AIM installed, and you want to redeploy, then you must specify the installation directory that was used originally. To change the installation directory, you must first uninstall the application.
To create a new database or upgrade an existing database, the SQL Server user requires db_owner privilege. This can be removed after the creation or upgrade activity is completed. For security reasons, it is recommended to configure the SQL Server user to run with a lesser level of privilege during normal operations.

Upgrading from 5.1.10, 5.1.11, 5.1.12, or latest patch, to 6.0 supported.
Note: Database migration from other versions is possible. For details, refer to the latest Release Notes, which provide up-to-date information on additional upgrade paths that are supported. The important thing to note is that the Markup’s created on the 3D models using Vizstream in the previous versions will be deleted with 6.0 and all the 3D models needs to be reprocessed in Import Controller.
