screen. Click Browse to select the location where the software will be downloaded.
Then click Get Update.
After download, open the file and run the installation program.
It's a good idea to run Live Update periodically to ensure that you always have the
newest versions of all Crestron software.

Live Update Firmware

Crestron Live Update Firmware allows you to determine the current firmware your
Crestron control system and Cresnet devices should be using and update the firmware
if necessary.
To use Live Update Firmware, start your Internet connection and click Live Update
Firmware on the Help menu. If your PC is connected to the control system, then
Live Update will poll the network and compare the firmware versions of all detected
network devices to the latest firmware versions available at Crestron. If newer
firmware versions are available then those devices will be shown in the display list.
If you are not connected to the control system the display list shows all Cresnet
devices and control systems.
To download the update to your hard drive
1. Select the check box next the device you want to update.
2. Click Browse and select the directory where you want to save the file.
3. Click Download to transfer the file to your hard drive.

and review any "Readme" documentation before continuing with the upload
procedure. Sometimes the update is a self-extracting ZIP file with an .exe extension.
