Specify whether your installation should include the Software Manager. The Software Manager enables end users to manage various aspects of the update process. For example, the Software Manager enables end users to do the following:

- Specify how often your application should check for updates.
- Specify whether an application will automatically check for updates.
- Invoke an immediate check for available updates.
- Suppress updates and messages that have already been viewed.

Valid options are:

- Yes—The Software Manager is included with your installation and installed on the target machine.
- No—The Software Manager is not included in your installation.

This setting currently applies only to InstallScript projects. The Include Software Manager setting is available for Basic MSI and InstallScript projects if the FLEXnet Connect Software Development Kit is released and installed on the same machine as InstallShield.
