System Software Manager

System Software Manager (SSM) is a utility that lets you update system-level software on multiple systems
simultaneously. When executed on a PC client system, SSM detects both hardware and software versions,
then updates the appropriate software from a central repository, also known as a file store. Driver versions
that are supported by SSM are denoted with a special icon on the software, the driver download Web
site, and on the Support Software CD. To download the utility or to obtain more information on SSM, visit

Proactive Change Notification

The Proactive Change Notification program uses the Subscriber's Choice Web site to proactively and
automatically:
• Send you Proactive Change Notification (PCN) e-mails informing you of hardware and software
changes to most commercial workstations and servers, up to 60 days in advance.
• Send you e-mail containing Customer Bulletins, Customer Advisories, Customer Notes, Security
Bulletins, and Driver alerts for most commercial workstations and servers.
You create your own profile to ensure that you only receive the information relevant to a specific IT
environment. To learn more about the Proactive Change Notification program and create a custom profile,
