- Cloud-Hosted Customers: If you are a cloud-hosted customer, Trimble handles the installation and upgrade processes for your Vista instance. To learn more about your cloud deployment method, see Cloud Deployments.
- On-Premises Customers: If you are an on-premises (self-hosted) customer, you must download and install the appropriate files for your respective servers when new versions of Vista are released. For more information, see Installations.
