Software Identification Wizard: Version Identification
In addition to identifying the software installed on Clients, Vector AM can distinguish between versions of an application. If you want to identify which versions of an application are installed on Clients, use the Version Identification dialog to specify the files and properties that can be used to isolate the different versions.
To select files for version identification:
1 The Version Identification dialog lists the File name, Creator Code, and Bundle Identifier for the files located in the selected application's installation directory. Double-click each file you want to use to identify the application.
2 If the selected file has a Bundle Identifier or a Creator Code, a message is displayed asking if you want to use this information to identify this version of the application. Click Yes to create a rule that uses this information, click No to create a rule that uses the file name.
The files are added to the Required items list.
3 To specify additional checks on a file, such as its size, or timestamp, select its entry in the Required items list, and click Specify properties. The File Rule dialog is displayed.
4 To specify the application version identified by these files, select Use these files to identify only version, enter the version number, and click Finish. The Wizard creates rules for the identification of the application and adds them to the Applications Library.
To extract the version number from the file properties, select Use properties of these files to identify versions, and click Next. The Version Identification Properties dialog is displayed.
