摘要

The method involves identifying a software component that belongs to a set of software components corresponding to a service subscribed by a programmable terminal. Difference between versions of the software component and another software component that belongs to another set of software components previously installed in the programmable terminal is determined. The latter software component is replaced by the former software component when the former software component is in older version. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a system for distributing a software component (2) a terminal comprising a unit for updating a software component (3) a computer program product downloaded from a communication network and executable by a microprocessor comprising program code instructions for implementing software component distributing method.
