When this is checked, the console will receive software updates from the primary if used in a multi-console system.
When checked, this box allows primary consoles running software v3.0 and later to update backup and client consoles running v2.x software.

Note: Only supported options will display. Monitor options may vary. While it is possible to assign a resolution lower than the minimum (1920x1080), it is recommended to be at 1920x1080 or higher.
Allows the installation of Eos Family software and other ETC-approved software (Concert, UpdaterAtor, GCE, and NCE). Updating Eos Family software does not affect or update the software in any other networked device such as a Net3 Gateway.
When you click on {Software Update...}, the console looks at the root directory of any connected USB drive for an Eos Family console software update file. You will be shown the names of any updater files found on the drive. Select the file you would like to install and click the {Install} button, or click {Cancel}. The software will first save to the hard drive before opening the installer.
You will also receive a message if no software update file can be found.
Eos has an installer archive, which saves selected installers directly onto the console's local hard drive. You can save multiple software versions onto your console's hard drive in case you wish to downgrade.
While installing the software, you can archive the installer used. Check the Archive Installer box for the selected version, and it will archive while installing the software. If you would like to archive installers without installing their software, you can do that by using the File Manager utility in ECU > Settings > Maintenance.
You can also retrieve these versions from the archive to save them to a USB drive by using the File Manager.
Note: On new consoles, some versions are preselected to be archived when initially shipped from ETC. This includes the version of software that is currently installed from the factory as well as any patches to that version (if available). For future releases, you will need to download the Eos Family software from the ETC website, etcconnect.com.
{Software Update...} also recognizes .zip files provided by ETC, which contain fixture library files and other help packs for language or Augment3d content.
Fixture library update files are distributed as a .zip file, which can be installed on Eos Family consoles, ETCnomad PC, and ETCnomad Mac devices.
Eos v3.0.0 introduced the ability to switch between v2.9.x and v3.0.0 and later on consoles capable of running both. If v2.9.x is already installed, installing v3.0.0 or later automatically retains the 2.9.x version of software.
Use the softkey to alternate between versions. A restart will be required before any changes can take effect. This option is not available on Windows 10-embedded consoles.
Note: If a console is updated to v3.0.0 or later from a version prior to v2.9.X, you will be able to revert from v3.0.0 or later to the prior version. However, you will be unable to return to v3.0.0 or later without first updating to v2.9.X.
