Overview

What is the Device Management System?

The Device Management System is an application that allows your business to easily and
securely monitor and deploy SteamVR software on multiple computers.

You'll need a host computer where the library of SteamVR software versions will be stored and
where you can manage the system. You'll also need to install the Device Management System
client application on at least one computer that's running the SteamVR software.
