{
If the software version does not match the device type and cannot be deployed to the device,
the contents of the Check Result field contain the message: Software: The version does not
match the device type.
{
If the selected software is already running on the selected device, the contents of the Check
Result field contain the message: Software: The version is currently running on the device.
