To install or update software

The Install updates tab shows the software components that can be installed to or updated on the device. Use the Install updates tab whether you are installing software for which you have a perpetual license or a subscription.

When installing software components for which you have a:

• perpetual license, the list of available software components is determined using the serial number of the device, shown in the Serial number field at the top of the screen.

• subscription, you can install all available software components. The subscription license is checked when you sign into the software on the controller. To use the software, the License Administrator in your organization must assign a subscription to you using the Trimble License Manager webapp.
