"Default" indicates the default version of the software that was originally shipped by the manufacturer. "Installed" indicates that the software is persistently located and is available for use on the Managed Element. "SingleUse" indicates that the software will run only after the next reset or reboot but will not run after the subsequent reset or reboot. "Available" indicates that the software is available for installation on the Managed Element. "Supports"indicates that the software will work with or operate the Managed Element but is or will be installed on a different Managed Element.
