Another scenario is when you copy the file set of an imported firmware file from the installation directory of another
ViewSonic Device Manager into the same installation directory of your ViewSonic Device Manager, this firmware file
may not appear as an entry in the Firmware list.
NOTE
• The default installation directory of ViewSonic Device Manager is C:\Program Files
(x86)\ViewSonic. The le set of an imported rmware le is placed in C:\Program
Files (x86)\ViewSonic\rmware, under an uppermost dedicated folder.

the following:
1. On System tab, Click Deployment > Firmware.
2. The Firmware list appears in Management area.
3. Click Scan Firmware on the top of the Firmware list.
4. On completion, the Firmware list is now in sync with your local or remote rmware les.

user interface packs. In this case, installing a language pack for a client will replace
its display (user interface) language with the new one.

please refer to “3.4.24 Installing Software Packages” on page 87.
