253 -The Package Update Tool can be used to load .puf files to devices, typically in order to [[update firmware>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.Updating Firmware.WebHome]] or [[load the ShowRunnerCLC™ program>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.Processor Setup.WebHome||anchor="HProgramLoad"]] to processors. While the Package Update Tool can be opened from within Toolbox, Chief Integrations does not recommend it as loading a .puf file this way will lock Toolbox until the .puf is finished loading to the device. Instead, we recommend to closing Toolbox (or at least closing any Toolbox connections to devices that you intend to update) and double-clicking the .puf file to open the Package Update Tool. This allows you to open multiple instances of the Package Update Tool and load .puf files to multiple devices at once.
255 +The Package Update Tool is a very convenient way of [[performing firmware updates>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.Updating Firmware.WebHome||anchor="HPackageUpdateTool28.puf29"]] for networked devices and [[loading the ShowRunnerCLC™ program>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.Processor Setup.WebHome||anchor="HProgramLoad"]] to processors.

257 +While the Package Update Tool can be opened from within Toolbox, Chief Integrations does not recommend it as doing so will lock Toolbox until the .puf is finished loading to the device. Instead, we recommend to closing Toolbox (or at least closing any Toolbox connections to devices that you intend to update) and double-clicking the .puf file to open the Package Update Tool in a separate window. This allows you to open multiple instances of the Package Update Tool and load .puf files to multiple devices at once. **Exercise caution when updating firmware for multiple devices simultaneously,** as some devices will reboot as part of the update process which may disrupt connection to downstream devices.

259 +* Locate the firmware or ShowRunner™ .puf file in Windows Explorer
260 +* Double-click the .puf file to open the Package Update Tool
261 +[[image:put1.png||height="386" width="416"]]
262 +* Use the Address Book or the Pencil icon to connect to your processor and wait for it to connect
263 +* Verify that the correct .puf and target device are selected
264 +** Verify the information under "Package Info" matches what is expected for the desired firmware, and re-select the .puf using the "Select..." button if the information is incorrect
265 +** Verify that the information under "Target" matches the device to be updated, and re-select the device using the Address Book or Pencil icon if it is incorrect
266 +[[image:put2.png||height="365" width="393"]]
267 +* Once you have verified all the information is correct and the Package Update Tool has run its check to see that the firmware is compatible with the device, click the "Update" button to begin the update

269 +* The Package Update Tool will notify you of when it is safe to close, but it is recommended to stay connected if possible in order to verify that the firmware update has been completed successfully
