Differences between the Software page and the Software Catalog page

The Software Catalog is a database that contains standardized information about more than 60,000 Windows and Mac applications and software suites. Information in the catalog includes the name, version, publisher, and category of each application or suite, as well as the operating system on which the application or suite runs.

The Software Catalog is available to all KACE SMAs running version 5.5 or higher. The catalog is continually updated and maintained by Quest to ensure that it is comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date.

When managed devices that are running Agent version 5.5 or higher report application inventory, that inventory information is compared to items in the Software Catalog. Standardized application inventory information is then displayed under the Software Catalog tab.

The Software Catalog enables you to:

•
Identify the software installed on devices and view standardized information about that software. See Viewing Software Catalog information.
•
Enable metering to gather detailed information about software usage. See Using software metering.
•
Associate license information with software in the Software Catalog. This enables you to monitor software license compliance and usage for devices. See Add License assets for Software Catalog inventory.
•
Identify and mark software as Not Allowed. This enables you to prevent the use of software marked as Not Allowed. See Using Application Control.

The catalog contains information about software designed to run on Windows and Mac operating systems only. Software designed to run on Linux and other unsupported operating systems are not available in the catalog.

Application classifications

Application classifications

Applications that appear on the Software Catalog page are classified as Discovered, Not Discovered (Cataloged), and Uncataloged. The classification determines the kinds of actions you can perform and the type of information that is available for the applications.

Discovered applications

Discovered applications are executables in the appliance inventory that match the definitions of applications in the Software Catalog. You can enable metering for Discovered applications and suites, mark them as Not Allowed, and add license information for them. In addition, the Discovered application list can be exported in CSV format. You can export the Discovered application list, the Uncataloged list, and the Locally Cataloged list; you cannot export the entire Software Catalog.

Not Discovered applications

Applications that do not exist in the appliance inventory, but that do exist in the Quest KACE Software Catalog, are referred to as Not Discovered applications. You can enable metering for Not Discovered applications, mark them as Not Allowed, and add license information for them. However, because the applications have not been found in the local appliance inventory, the Not Discovered application list cannot be exported in CSV format.

Uncataloged applications

Uncataloged applications are executables that are in the appliance inventory but that do not appear in the Software Catalog. You can view applications that are listed as Uncataloged on the Software Catalog page. However, you cannot enable metering for Uncataloged applications, mark them as Not Allowed, or add license information for them.

Uncataloged applications must be added to the local or public Software Catalog before they can be metered, marked as Not Allowed, or associated with license information. See Adding applications to the Software Catalog.

* 
NOTE: If data retention is disabled for Uncataloged applications, the Uncataloged applications list is empty. See Configure Admin-level or organization-specific General Settings.
