View the Software Library

The Software Library is the catalog of every software package available to CIDs in CID Hub: OpenLab CDS versions, Windows and Linux updates, instrument drivers, and add-ons. Use this page to look up which versions are available before assigning them.

For the Administrator and User roles, the Software Library is read-only. You cannot install software or change CID software from this page. Use a server's software template for inheriting CIDs, or configure software exceptions for a single CID.

Prerequisites

• You must have a CID Hub account and be signed in. Any signed-in user can view the Software Library.
