Installed Applications Page
This page lists all of the installed applications recognized during the last inventory import. Recognition means that evidence linked to the application record was found on at least one device within your enterprise.
- Create a new application record for something discovered in your enterprise (see Adding an Application)
- Create a license for any application selected from the list (see Creating a License)
- Change the management status of any selected application(s) (see Changing the Status of an Application)
- Navigate to the properties of an application, either by clicking its name in the listing, or by selecting it and clicking Open (see Application Properties)
- Delete a Local application record (see Deleting an Application Record
- Resolve cases where the evidence for multiple applications overlaps (see Resolving the Application's Overlapping Evidence Alerts).
Column name | Notes |
---|---|
Category |
The broad function of the application, by default from the UN Standard Products and Services Code. For local applications, this field is editable in the General tab of the application properties. (Additional custom categories can be created in .) |
Classification |
The type of software, especially as it relates to licensing (freeware, commercial, component, and so on). Visible on the General tab of the application properties. It is editable only for applications with a Source value of Local. |
Containers |
The count of installations of this application installed in
containers.
Note: This is a subset of the total count displayed in the Installed column.
|
Edition |
The edition of an application, as specified by the publisher of this
application.
Note: Many applications do not specify an edition.
Visible on the General tab of the application properties. It is editable only for applications with a Source value of Local. |
End of extended support |
The date when the publisher ceases the extended period to support this version and edition of the product in any way. For locally-created applications, editable in the General tab of the application properties. For application records downloaded in the Application Recognition Library, any available value of this field is populated by the Application Recognition Library, and is not editable. |
End of life |
The date that marks the end of the lifespan for this software application. After this date, the publisher would no longer be selling, sustaining, and supporting this application. For locally-created applications, editable in the General tab of the application properties. For application records downloaded in the Application Recognition Library (ARL), any available value of this field is populated by the ARL, and is not editable. |
End of sales |
The date after which you cannot purchase this software application directly from its publisher or through the direct sales channel. For locally-created applications, editable in the General tab of the application properties. For application records downloaded in the Application Recognition Library, any available value of this field is populated by the Application Recognition Library, and is not editable. |
End of support |
The date when the publisher ceases to fully support this version and edition of the product. For locally-created applications, editable in the General tab of the application properties. For application records downloaded in the Application Recognition Library (ARL), any available value of this field is populated by the ARL, and is not editable. |
Evidence capability |
Most application evidence is used to identify whether an application is
installed on a device. Some evidence may identify whether the application was accessed by a
user. This column identifies the kinds of evidence so far linked to the application, with
the following values:
Not editable. |
Flexera ID | A generated code that uniquely identifies all application records,
and may be used for integration between products from Flexera. All application records (including those created
locally) include a Flexera ID starting
with the following text:
This data is read-only.
|
Installed |
The count of installations of this application, calculated from evidence
matched in the last imported inventory. This includes the count of installations in
containers.
Tip: This is the count of installations in
Active inventory devices. In other words, this
count excludes any installations on inventory devices for which the
Status has been set to
Ignored (either manually in the General tab of the inventory
device properties, or automatically because the inventory device is linked to an
asset that is either Disposed or
Retired).
Counts do not match the evidence. A figure in the Installed column might differ from evidence match counts because more than one piece of evidence may link to a single application. This might happen for applications with multiple installed components (leading to multiple installed evidence matches). For example, if an application is installed as three different components, each generating file evidence, the evidence match count would be three, but the Installed count would be resolved to one. Counts do not match the license. The Installed count for an application might differ from
the consumption for its associated license for either of these reasons:
Not editable. The installed count is recalculated after each inventory import. Access right restrictions — The Installed column counts only the installations on inventory devices that you have the right to view. |
Is locked |
Represents the ability to edit the application, based on its source. Displays Yes if the Source of this application is Flexera or Flexera (Extended), and otherwise displays No. Not editable. |
Licensed |
This column indicates whether an installed application is linked to at least one license (either Yes or No is displayed). Editable in the Licenses tab of the application's properties. |
Name |
The application's name, which may be:
Tip:
You can edit this on the General tab of the application
properties when Local is displayed in the
Source column (which means the application was
added manually by an operator).
|
Product |
The basic name of the application, excluding the publisher and references to versions or editions. This field displays the value Multiple products for multi-product licenses that have multiple primary products. See Multi-Product License. Tip:
You can edit this on the General tab of the application
properties when Local is displayed in the
Source column (which means the application was
added manually by an operator).
|
Publisher |
The name of the publisher of this software, responsible for its development and distribution. Tip:
You can edit this on the General tab of the application
properties when Local is displayed in the
Source column (which means the application was
added manually by an operator).
|
Release date |
The date when the application was made available to the customers. For locally-created applications, editable in the General tab of the application properties. For application records downloaded in the Application Recognition Library, any available value of this field is populated by the ARL, and is not editable. |
Source |
The origin of an application record:
|
Start of life |
The date on which this software application started its operational life. In most cases, it is the date when the alpha or beta version (varies among publishers) of the application was released. For locally-created applications, editable in the General tab of the application properties. For application records downloaded in the Application Recognition Library (ARL), any available value of this field is populated by the ARL, and is not editable. |
Status |
Indicates your assessment and processing of an
application. It can have any of the following values:
|
Suite |
Displays Yes if this application is a suite (that is, contains child applications), and otherwise No. Remember that a non-suite (has no children) may itself be a member of a suite. For example, Adobe Creative Suite® is a suite, Adobe Photoshop is not, and Photoshop can be a member of Creative Suite. Editable in the Suite and member section of the Evidence tab in the application properties. |
Usage | The count of devices on which inventory shows that usage tracking is
turned on, and the application has been used.
This data is read-only.Tip: This is the number of
devices showing usage in the Devices tab of the
application properties, and is filtered by the thresholds set in the
Usage tab of the same application properties. Devices
where applications are opened less often, or for shorter times, than specified
there are not counted here; but for usage tracked in Flexera inventory, may be
checked in the Raw Software Usage page (where no thresholds
apply).
|
Version |
The release number (or release identifier) of an application. Tip:
You can edit this on the General tab of the application
properties when Local is displayed in the
