Software Identification Manager: Overview
The Software Identification Manager displays the software detected on Client PCs by software inventory operations. Use it to identify and manage the software installed on Client PCs, to plan application rollouts and to help manage the license compliance of third-party applications.
The manager presents the software in four categories:
Confirmed
Identifications lists applications identified using the definitions in the Vector AM Applications
Library.
Provisional
Identifications lists applications identified using version
information from the file properties of executables and other binary files.
Registry
Identifications lists applications identified using installation
information from the Clients' operating system.
Unidentified
Software lists the directories that contain software Vector AM is unable to identify. Click Details
to display the Clients that contain the directories.
In addition, the Applications Library tab lists the rules used to identify applications and enables you to create and customize identification rules for use within your organization.
To display the software inventory details currently held in the Site database, right-click an entry in a Clients group and choose Software Details from the shortcut menu.
