The Software extension (SoftwareStationExt component), among the provisioning extensions, permits any of the following steps in provisioning jobs to be processed for a station running on this host: Install Software step, Upgrade Out-of-date Software step, Copy Supervisor File step, Reboot step.

By default, this extension is enabled, to allow these provisioning steps for the station. Figure 66 shows the property sheet for the station’s Software extension. Note that other functions are also provided by this extension, using its default Station Software View (a special view).
