<p class="callout info"><span data-colorid="sx8f4177x2">The Locate OPSCOM Enforce App Version guide details how to easily find the current software version and unique handheld identifier for your mobile enforcement device. Its primary purpose is to help administrators and enforcement staff quickly verify that their handhelds are running the most up-to-date software, which is critical for troubleshooting and system compatibility. This article is intended for OPS-COM administrators and enforcement personnel.</span></p>

## Setup and Configuration

To ensure your enforcement device is running correctly, staff must download and maintain the application via official app stores.

1. Open the Apple App Store or Google Play Store on your handheld device.
2. Search for the **OPSCOM Enforce** application.
3. **Tap** the application to view its store details.
4. **Tap** the **Update** button if it is visible. If the button displays as **Install** or **Open**, you are either installing it for the first time or already running the latest available store version.

## Using this Feature

Finding the version details does not require logging into the application, making it easily accessible for quick reference.

### Locating the Version Details

1. Open the **OPSCOM Enforce** app on your handheld device.
2. Remain on the initial Login Screen.
3. Look directly below the **LOGIN** button and the username/password fields to find the system details block.
