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 is used along with 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 Package which you can activate with MCL-Loader V4.

This product includes the APP Desktop. APP Desktop is required for license activation (via wifi), MCL software installation, 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.

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

For more information, refer to the MCL-Mobility Platform User Guide.

 

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.
