The Plugin Manager manages the deployment of desktop plugins. It keeps track of the plugins that are installed in the system and will download a plugin to the desktop machine if necessary.

The PluginManager object can be obtained from EnterpriseSession Object by calling the PluginManager Property. Note that the PluginManager object cannot be used separately from the EnterpriseSession object.
