Notes on the Remote Dashboard Patch Installer Screen The Current Installed Version represents the version of the Panther Remote Dashboard software that is currently installed. The Install button will install the version that displays in the list box next to it. The Restore Backup button restores the backup version that shows up in the list box next to it. If no back-ups are currently in the Panther Remote Dashboard software installation folder, the Restore Backup button and the list box next to it are disabled and grayed out. If the Panther Remote Dashboard software is not installed, the Current Installation text does not display a version number.
