Parameters (local in grey)
boolean UpgradeableOnDevice ;
Boolean that indicates whether the software is upgradeable, when it is LoadedOnDevice. Software that is loaded as part of the OperatingSystem is typically changeable and upgradeable. However, when DeviceSoftware is burned into EEPROM or a chip that realizes the LogicalDevice, then it might not be upgradeable. This property indicates the ability to update and upgrade DeviceSoftware.
Override ( "Dependent" )
CIM_LogicalDevice REF Dependent ;
The LogicalDevice that requires or uses the software.
boolean LoadedOnDevice ;
Boolean that indicates that the software is 'burned into' or otherwise located on the hardware of the LogicalDevice.
