Install Package On The Axiom

1) Log into the Axiom and proceed to the Support-->Software Modules section

2) Select Update Software from the drop-down action list at the bottom of the page.

3) To proceed to stage the package, click Upload Package at the top of the page

4) In the space provided at File Name:, enter the path to the package downloaded earlier.
Click OK. The package will be uploaded and processed.

5) After a few moments, the processing will complete and the new Compatibility Matrix will be installed

6) Click OK to proceed

7) You will be returned to the same screen as in step 3, prior to the package upload.

8) Since there are no actual software to upgrade, you are done.

9) Click Cancel to exit the Update Software section.


Next Task to Perform

At this point, verify the Compatibility Matrix version displayed toward the bottom of the page.

It should match the version of the package you have downloaded and installed. If it does not, please contact the Pillar Customer Support Center for further assistance.
