AVEVA will periodically publish patches for Plant SCADA. You can download these patches from the Products page of the AVEVA Knowledge & Support Center website at:

https://softwaresupport.aveva.com/

To install a Plant SCADA software patch

  1. Go to the location where the patch media was saved.

  2. Run the executable file named "Plant SCADA <VersionNumber> Patch n.exe".

    The following dialog will appear. It lists the components that will be updated.

    Manage Patches 1 (2026)

  3. Select Update to proceed.

    If any Plant SCADA services or processes are using files that need to be updated, an additional dialog will appear asking if you want to automatically shut everything down or reboot after the update is installed.

  4. Make your selection and click OK to complete the installation.

A patch may include prerequisite upgrades to one or more AVEVA common components (such as Platform Common Services).

Manage Patches 2 (2026)

If a patch contains such prerequisites, and the component has not already been upgraded on your computer, the following dialog will be shown (before the dialog from step 2 above).

Select Upgrade to proceed with upgrading the components. If all prerequisites are upgraded successfully, the patch will display the dialog from step 2, otherwise an error will be displayed.

Note: Unlike updates to Plant SCADA components, the upgrade of common components cannot be reverted without a full uninstall and reinstall of the component.

To uninstall a Plant SCADA patch

You can uninstall Plant SCADA patches from the Uninstall or change a program page of Windows Control Panel. The entry for Plant SCADA will display the most recent patch that has been applied.

Manage Patches 3 (2026)

  1. Select the Uninstall/Change option for AVEVA Plant SCADA.

  2. When the Modify, Repair, or Remove page appears, select the Remove Update option.

  3. Select the patch you would like to uninstall.

    Manage Patches 4 (2026)

  4. Click Next, then Uninstall.

    When the uninstallation process has completed, the entry for Plant SCADA in the Control Panel programs list will be updated to reflect the changes that have been made. If an earlier patch was installed, it will indicate that the previous patch is now the most recent.

    Note: You can also use a command to silently install a Plant SCADA patch. See Silently Install a Plant SCADA Patch.
