+    To implement the Activation apply options for a newly uploaded firmware
+    image. The apply options property is specific to each firmware update
+    and is used during firmware activation. ApplyOptions usage during
+    firmware activation is implementation specific, not all firmware
+    targets need ApplyOptions. This property is removed after activation
+    of the firmware is done and when the firmware goes to Active state.
+    The default value of this property is false.
