SCM in C SDK
Enables custom connectivity applications with SCM:
-Content update
-Configuration updates
-Firmware upgrade
Developers can now build SCM directly into their applications
Security features built in:
-Digital signing
-Script whitelist
.NET SDK and Reboot support coming soon
When EMS does not need to be installed for SCM, does this mean that any custom Agent can be developed now to push software updates remotely to the devices/machines?
-It means that any application can be built using the C-SDK in order to push software updates
