![Software Section](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/amUtKWPrNQCS-26DKyGuI-r2K3u4sNqi3Ad4kXrFYmV-20250721-191857.png)

In the Software Section, you can find and download builds of various software, including Zixi products, plugins, and SDKs, and third-party tools like the VLC player and OBS broadcast studio with plugins to make them work seamlessly with Zixi. There are three different views of software offerings represented by the tabs at the top:

- By Type/Product
- New Builds
- Table

:::hint{type="info"}
Note that the software that will appear depends on what you subscribe to in the [Packages Section](docId\:FJ0-uTQaJnqAq9BxKUY3G). If you think you should be able to see other packages that are not available for you to subscribe to, contact you Zixi Account Manager, Technical Account Manager, or a Customer Success contact.

## By Type/Product

![Software by Type/Product](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/amUtKWPrNQCS-26DKyGuI-5TPZD3r1b_Qj_FaCgHOp2-20250731-173930.png)

- The **By Type/Product** tab will show you builds for *supported* versions of software. 
- Where there are multiple releases available, the latest version is always listed at the top, with earlier releases listed in descending order by date. 
- Note that on the **By Type/Product** tab, you can click on the product filters at the top to only show releases for that one.

### Installers

When you click on a release number, you will see a details screen where you can get an installer for different platforms:

![Software Download View](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/amUtKWPrNQCS-26DKyGuI-fKPtFprVvJNw8YqlRyq3I-20250722-134457.png)

### CLIs

In addition to downloadable installers, there are also **CLIs** - commands that you can run from the command line to download the installer. These are intended mainly for cases where you only have SSH access to the system you want to install on.

## New Builds

![New Builds](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/amUtKWPrNQCS-26DKyGuI-KATMJtMZa3WymvB4mVxk4-20250731-174449.png)

The **New Builds** tab shows the same information and format as the **By Type/Product** tab, and with the same product filters at the top. However, it only shows those build released within the past 30 days.

This view is offered as conveniene to those who like to keep their software up to date with the latest versions and features.

:::hint{type="info"}
If there are any new builds available, this tab will appear first when you go to the **Software** section.

## Table

![Software Table View](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/amUtKWPrNQCS-26DKyGuI-23v301TdIDoaCFerCkeg--20250731-185114.png)

In the **Table** view, you can find older builds in a more compact table. There is no filtering here, but you can choose how many rows to display at once.

As in other views, clicking on the release number will take you to a details screen where you can download the installer or get the CLI.
