• Installing localized AMS Machinery Manager on a Windows system where the

matching language pack and regional settings have already been installed. For

example, install AMS Machinery Manager (German) on Windows after installing the

German language pack.

• When you upgrade AMS Machinery Manager, the language must match the

currently installed AMS Machinery Manager language. For example, update AMS

Machinery Manager v5.51 (German) to AMS Machinery Manager v5.6 (German). To

change the AMS Machinery Manager language you need a full installation instead of

an upgrade.

• One language of AMS Machinery Manager is available per installation. If you change

your regional settings or language pack after installing AMS Machinery Manager,

strings may not display properly. Use the regional settings and language pack that

match the language you licensed for AMS Machinery Manager.
