NOTE: In
Niagara 4.8 and later, there is added support for verifying third party module signatures. Currently third party module signing is optional
in most cases, but this will gradually shift to a requirement over the course of the next few releases. As a result, the
Software Manager window is changed to include signature status icons in the Installed Version and Available Version columns indicating the
signature status of the installed and available modules. Attempting to install modules with signature warnings (indicated
by a yellow

icon) will cause a signature warning dialog to be displayed, and attempting to install modules with signature errors (indicated
by a red

icon) will cause the installation to fail. For more details see,
Niagara Third Party Module Signing.
- File — File name of locally available module file, or blank if the module is on the remote host only.
- Installed Version — Version of the module installed in the remote host, or blank if not installed.
- Avail. Version — Latest version of locally available module, or blank if the software is on the remote host only.
- <unlabeled> — Status of the module in the remote platform. For each module, status is one of the following:
- Not Installed — Module is not in remote platform, but is available locally.
Blue text is used for this status.
- Not Installed (Requires Commissioning)— Module is not in remote platform, but is available locally. Blue text is also used
for this status.
Dependencies prevent you from installing it, unless you first upgrade the remote platform, using the Commissioning Wizard.
- Up to Date — Module is installed in the remote platform, and is equal to (or higher) than locally available module version.
- Out of Date — Module is installed in remote platform, and is older than your local version.
Red text is used for this status.
- Out of Date (Requires Commissioning)— Module is installed in remote platform, and is older than your local version shown.
Red text is also used for this status.
Dependencies prevent you from installing it, unless you first upgrade the remote platform, using the Commissioning Wizard.
- Not Available Locally — Module installed in remote platform is not in your software database.
- Cannot Install — Local module is unreadable or has a bad manifest; you cannot install it.
- Bad Target — Remotely installed module is unreadable or has a bad manifest, and is therefore unusable by a station. Software
in this state should probably be fixed, since it could cause the station to not work correctly.
- Downgrade to <version> — Remotely installed software is intended to be replaced with a module having a lower version.
- Install <version> — Module is intended to be installed; it does not currently exist on the remote platform.
- Re-Install <version> — Remotely installed module is intended to be replaced with a module having a the same version.
- Uninstall <version> — Remotely installed module is intended to be uninstalled.
- Upgrade to <version> — Remotely installed module is intended to be replaced with a module having a higher version.
NOTE: “Intended” status values like “Install <version>” reflect un-committed actions made during your Software Manager session. Blue text is used to list these statuses.
You can also view software details about any item in the table. In addition, you can filter (reduce) the number of software
items listed, based on text included in file name or the softwares’ status values. See “Filtering displayed software” for
more details.
