Software management
The application enables you to manage the software
installed upon your computers.
The application provides prompt answers to the two
following questions:
- What software is installed on workstation X?
- On which workstations is software Y installed?
By automating computer inspection, the application
automatically maintains the list of installed software.

Automatic
software detection
When the computer inspection program analyses a
computer, it finds all the installed programs that are listed in “Add / Remove
Programs”.
For each piece of software, the program establishes a relationship
between it and the computer on which it is installed.
Once the inspection has been performed, you may:
1) View the list of software installed on a given
computer:
2) View the list of computers upon which a given piece
of software is installed:
Managing non-managed software
It is possible that the computer inspection program
will detect software that you do not wish to see in the application (drivers,
tools, etc).
This type of software is called non-managed software.
The application enables you to hide this software in
order to facilitate the management of supported software.
To mark a piece of software as “non-managed”:
- Search for the software either by performing a search or by viewing
the “Software” list.
- Open the software’s management form (CI form)
- Uncheck the “managed software” checkbox.
- Save the changes.
Even if the software is marked as non-managed, the
computer configuration inspection program will continue to maintain the relationships
between that software and the computers upon which it is installed.
Non-managed software view
A piece of software marked as “non-managed” is no
longer visible from within the application and cannot be retrieved by means of
a search. The only way to view this software is by means of the “Non-managed
software” view, accessible via the configuration management module.
By means of this list, you can open a non-managed
software’s form and see upon which computers it is installed.
