Trimble FieldLink - Installation

Trimble FieldLink Overview

Trimble FieldLink features two different licensing models, and the installation steps are slightly different based on your license type. A Perpetual license is tied to the hardware serial, and your assigned license and modules will be displayed when you launch Trimble Installation Manager (TIM). A Subscription license is tied to a Trimble ID (Email Address), and is able to be transferred between devices. A subscription license will not show licenses & modules in TIM, and requires extra steps for installation.
