AirBEAM Smart Client
The AirBEAM Smart Client is installed on the mobile computer. It is configured with the server access
information, the names of the packages to be downloaded and other controlling parameters. When the
AirBEAM Smart Client is launched, the device connects to the specified FTP server and checks the packages
it is configured to look for. If the package version was updated, the client requests the transfer.

synchronization functionality is enabled through a license key file that is stored on the mobile computer. The

AirBEAM Smart Client version synchronization logic is invoked.
