Software Identification Manager: Registry Identifications

Most applications save information about themselves in the operating system when they are installed. For example, the Add/Remove Programs option in the Windows Control Panel lists the registry information held for applications installed on a PC. The Registry Identifications tab lists applications identified using system information:

    To associate a registry identification with an entry in the Confirmed Identifications tab, right-click the entry and choose Link to Confirmed Identification.

    By default, the Registry Identifications tab does not list installation information from program patches. To display patch information, right-click the list and choose Show Patches.

    By default, the Registry Identifications tab does not list applications that also appear in the Confirmed Identifications tab. To display these entries, right-click the list and choose Show Confirmed.

    To print the registry identifications list, right-click the list and choose Print.

    To view and edit the directories to be excluded from software inventories, right-click the list and choose Settings.

Note

Most entries in the Applications Library supplied with Vector AM are already linked with the corresponding system information. These applications are displayed only when Show Confirmed is selected.
