About your software database
sw subdirectory. If
use as an installation tool option, this directory contains several subdirectories for various distribution (.dist) files, with each subdirectory named
using version numbers.
You can see your sw subdirectory structure using either Windows Explorer, or in the

sw subdirectories will be different, this is only a simple example. Do not manually create or rename subdirectories in this
area for proper operation—instead, let the Software Manager automatically administer this database.
For example, in the

Or, if the correct subdirectory already exists, the Software Manager copies the inbox file(s) there.
As an equivalent to the inbox feature, you can use the Import button at the bottom of the Software Manager to add to your software database. For details, see “Software Import”.
When you add different-versioned installable files, the number of different subdirectories under your sw directory will continue to increase. By default, the Software Manager displays only the most recent version of any module as the Avail. Version.
