| Name | Data Type | Value |
| Description | string | This method allows a client application to determine whether a specific SoftwareIdentity can be installed (or updated) on a ManagedElement. It also allows other characteristics to be determined such as whether install will require a reboot. In addition a client can check whether the SoftwareIdentity can be added simulataneously to a specified SofwareIndentityCollection. A client MAY specify either or both of the Collection and Target parameters. The Collection parameter is only supported if SoftwareInstallationServiceCapabilities.CanAddToCollection is TRUE. |

| InstallCharacteristics | uint16[] |
| Description | string | The parameter describes the characteristics of the installation/update that will take place if the Source Software Identity is installed:
Target automatic reset: The target element will automatically reset once the installation is complete.
System automatic reset: The containing system of the target ManagedElement (normally a logical device or the system itself) will automatically reset/reboot once the installation is complete.
Separate target reset required: EnabledLogicalElement.RequestStateChange MUST be used to reset the target element after the SoftwareIdentity is installed.
Separate system reset required: EnabledLogicalElement.RequestStateChange MUST be used to reset/reboot the containing system of the target ManagedElement after the SoftwareIdentity is installed.
Manual Reboot Required: The system MUST be manually rebooted by the user.
No reboot required : No reboot is required after installation.
User Intervention Recomended : It is recommended that a user confirm installation of this SoftwareIdentity. Inappropriate application MAY have serious consequences.
MAY be added to specified collection : The SoftwareIndentity MAY be added to specified Collection. |
