Software Identification Manager: Unidentified Software

When a software inventory operation detects files on a Client PC, Vector AM attempts to identify the applications they belong to by first using the definitions in the Applications Library, and then by searching for version information encoded in the file properties. If Vector AM is unable to identify files using either of these methods, it lists the file locations in the Unidentified Software tab of the Software Identification Manager.

To sort the list, click a column heading. Click the column heading again to reverse the sort order.

To view the Clients on which the software was detected, click Details.

To view the directory in which the software was detected, right-click its entry in the Clients view and choose Browse Location from the shortcut menu. The Browser is displayed.

To create identification rules for the software using the Software Identification Wizard, right-click an entry in the Clients view and choose Create Identification Rules from the shortcut menu.

To omit applications from the inventory, right-click an entry in the list and choose Exclude Location.

To edit the unrecognized software options, or to view and edit your current exclusion settings, right-click an entry in the list and choose Settings.
