Manage Applications

StageNow 5.7

Use this Wizard to manage applications on a device. This downloads, installs, uninstalls and launches any applications. This Wizard also allows you to connect to a staging and/or production network, install licenses, configure simulScan, download data files, and reboot the device.

To create a Manage Applications profile:

  1. Select Create New Profile.

  2. Select the MX version from the drop-down menu. Note that MX 4.4 does not support installing licenses and configuring simulscan, so select MX 4.3 if these options are required.
