UseAddRemove

FlexNet Manager Suite 2020 R1 (On-Premises)

Command line | Registry

This preference applies only for inventory devices running a Windows operating system.

UseAddRemove determines whether the application usage component makes use of the Add/Remove Programs store for identifying executables to monitor:
  • When set to True, the application usage component uses the Add/Remove Programs data to try to identify application components to monitor
  • When set to False, the application usage component ignores Add/Remove Programs. This is the default setting, because many publishers' entries here are not reliable – for example, settings may include incomplete installation paths, particularly where the common part of the path is shared by many products from the same publisher.
