Abstract
A software version control system and method includes installing a software configurable component on an aircraft, automatically setting a listen switch of the software configurable component to an on state upon installation of the software configurable component in a new installation location, listening for a software version from a configuration manager on a communication bus, turning off the listen switch if a software version of the software configurable component matches the software version of the configuration manager, and downloading an updated software version to the software configurable component if the software version of the software configurable component does not match the software version of the configuration manager.
