    The home page opens.

  2. Click Administer Your Reservation Manager.

    The Administration page opens.

  3. Click Manage your configuration settings.

    The Configure Settings page opens.

  4. Click the following link in the ITCM Integration area, and click OK.
    Software Deployment Enabled

    Enables or disables software deployment features in the Reservation Manager UI.

    Default: true (software deployment is allowed)

    The change takes effect when Reservation Manager is restarted.
