A multisite version and upgrade management system for controllers. The system may have a supervisor and one or more site controllers managed by the supervisor. The site controllers may be subject to commissioning for another version, an upgrade of software or an upgrade of a configuration for a site controller. The commissioning and upgrades may be implemented by the supervisor for a large number of site controllers in a much shorter period of time in contrast to a previous approach implementing the same items in a one by one approach. With the present approach, a significant number of site controllers may be selected for implementation of the commissioning and upgrades according to groups and categories. The implementation for the number of site controllers may be executed as a job. Licensing needed for the implementation may be procured by the present system.
