How to Install MCL Software in a Device

Overview

MCL-Loader V4 is the tool that enables you to install MCL software (ex: MCL-Client or MCL-Agent) into your devices. Depending on the type of license you have acquired (License or Subscription), you must install the appropriate MCL software:

•MCL-Client - This MCL product uses a license (perpetual license that only requires a one time activation). In other words, the installation of MCL-Client implies the purchase/usage of an MCL-Client license which you can activate with MCL-Loader V4.

This product includes MCL App Desktop (= MCL interface). MCL App Desktop is required for license activation (via wifi), MCL software installation, it provides access to the installed MCL applications, etc. It is installed along with MCL-Client and requires no further action.

•MCL-Agent - This MCL product is used by a subscription (set of products/services contracted during a specific period of time and associated to your MCL-Mobility Platform account). You can use MCL-Loader V4 to install MCL-Agent but the corresponding license is activated/managed by MCL-Mobility Platform.

Make sure that your device is connected to the PC where MCL-Loader V4 is installed (you can use a USB or Wifi connection) and that your PC is connected to the Internet so you can install new MCL-Client packages in the device.

Step-by-step

1. Open MCL-Loader V4.

2. Click the "Device Software Installation" option.

3. Select the type of connection you want to establish by checking the corresponding option:
