Using software metering

Using software metering

You can manage software metering information using the KACE appliance.

About software metering

About software metering

Software metering enables you to collect information about how applications are installed and used on the Windows and Mac devices that you manage.

Information collection includes Windows Store applications, such as Bing Travel. Metering is not available for applications installed other operating systems, such as Linux. In the Software Catalog, metering can be enabled for applications that are listed as Discovered and Not Discovered and for applications that are Locally Cataloged. Metering cannot be enabled for operating system software, applications installed on unsupported operating systems, such as Linux, or for applications that are listed as Uncataloged in the Software Catalog.

About Classic Metering

Classic Metering is the metering system that was available on the appliance prior to version 5.5. If you upgraded to version 5.5 from version 5.4 or lower, and you enabled metering prior to the upgrade, you can continue to access Classic Metering in the 5.5 release.

However, the Software Catalog metering system, which provides more detailed information than Classic Metering, replaced Classic Metering in the 6.0 release. Classic Metering is no longer available in version 6.0 and higher.
