A software deployment system and method are provided. The system includes a server and at least one client. The server executes a first server application and a second server application simultaneously. The client controls at least one equipment tool, executes a first client application connected to the first server application, and has a second client application. In response to a deployment signal, the client first deletes the first client application and executes the second client application to connect to the second server application if all equipment tools controlled by the client are idle. The client then transmits a completion signal to the server. If software deployment on each client is complete, the server deletes the first server application.
