There are two basic versions of Android Operation systems you will find on a mobile scanner device running Android:
1. Android - Has Google Play store
2. Google Enterprise - No Google Play store
If you purchase a device that has the Google Play store on it, you may easily get the Finale Inventory application by opening the Google play store and searching for Finale Inventory, and clicking on it.
It will download and install the latest version for you. In the future, you can return to the Google play store app on your device to check for updates to our program and update it very easily.
If you purchase a device that does not have the Google Play store on it, you will need to download the Finale Inventory app .APK file to your device manually.
Follow the BOLD Instructions and videos below for specific installation and update scenarios.
There are three basic methods for installing the Finale Inventory App on an Android device:
