<li id="GUID-903FAC8D-2C01-504F-B52C-7CAE67DFBA11"><p> <b>Package Name</b>:
Identifies the package in the installation dialogs and in the list of installed
packages. The package name is language-dependent. The number of package names
must equal the number of languages specified in the languages line and must
be in the same order. </p> </li>
<li id="GUID-A9A4ECAA-590F-57ED-99AF-CA99E2A9BE53"><p> <b>Package UID</b>:
Identifies the package when installing, upgrading and removing the package.
All package files require a UID. </p> <p>The UID, known as the package UID
or pUID specified in the package header of an application (SISAPP) uniquely
identifies the package. The installation fails if another installed package
has the same pUID, unless the second package is a patch or an upgrade. The
package creator is responsible for ensuring that the pUID is correctly allocated
to ensure uniqueness. It can have the same value as the SID of an executable
installed by the package. </p> <p>Package UIDs and SIDs are allocated through <xref href="https://www.symbiansigned.com" scope="external">https://www.symbiansigned.com</xref>. </p> <p>If
the pUID is in the protected range, (less than 0x80000000), or if the package
is installing an EXE whose SID is in the protected range, the package must
be trusted. </p> </li>
<li id="GUID-F012A4EF-7BCA-5D3F-8E59-AEECFE4CF171"><p> <b>Major, Minor versions</b>:
Specifies the major and minor version numbers of the package and are required
for version control. For example, <codeph>AppName 3.1</codeph> specifies major
build 3, and minor build 1. </p> </li>
<li id="GUID-8762C9E4-CF64-538F-82C3-A8E7B10C6AEC"><p> <b>Build Number</b>:
Specifies the build number of the application. </p> </li>
<li id="GUID-A16794C7-9FA9-5772-86D6-AC9A6120B1CD"><p> <b>Package-Options</b>:
Specifies the various options that can be provided within package header.
