The Trimble Installation Manager workspace

The main features of the Trimble Installation Manager workspace are described below.

The product bar next to the navigation bar on the left shows applicable products for the device. Trimble Installation Manager uses the device serial number to determine the software components that can be downloaded and installed to the device. By default the product bar shows only products for which the device has a valid license.

To view all products that can be installed to the device, including those that do not require a license, select the Show all check box at the bottom of the product bar.

Information for the current device is shown at the top of the screen.

  • The Serial number field shows the serial number of the device that the product will be installed to.

When you select the product to install from the product bar, Trimble Installation Manager shows:

  • The Version field shows the version of the selected product to be installed. If required, select a different version from the drop-down list.
  • Tap to download updates to install to a device at a later date. For more information, refer to the appropriate topic for updating your device.
  • Tap to set up custom data folders to install Trimble Access data files during Trimble Access software update/installation. This button appears only when Trimble Access is selected in the product bar. For more information, see Installing existing data during upgrade in the Trimble Access Help.
  • Tap Refresh to return to the product selection screen and check for updates for the connected device.
  • Tap Release Notes to go to the website where the current and previous versions of release notes for the selected product are available.

The Install updates tab shows information applicable to the selected product on the connected device. Depending on the selected product, other tabs may be available. See To install or update software.

The Relinquish licenses tab appears if you can remove the software license from the connected device so that it can be transferred to a new device. See To relinquish software licenses.

The Upgrade options tab appears if there are more options available for the device. To purchase any of these options, contact your Trimble distributor.

The navigation bar down the left side of the Trimble Installation Manager window provides access to:

  • An icon indicating the connected device type.
  • A link to trimble.com (tap the icon in the top left).

  • The About dialog.

    If you need to contact Trimble Support, view the About dialog and note the version number of the Trimble Installation Manager software installed, the ID of the computer being used to run it. Tap the link to view and save the Trimble Installation Manager .log file.

  • The Trimble Installation Manager for Windows Help.
