The first one. But I might change it to: The tables...
Reason: It is a complete sentence. The second one isn't.
Reason for dropping or changing "software": What other kind do your users
have? Or be more specific about what kind of software.
Good luck! And thanks for all of your posts to Techwr-L and Framers. I
certainly enjoy them.

Okay guys, any preference and why:
"Software tables may need to be manually updated."
