About the Tag Creator Name, Software Creator Name, and Software Licensor Name Fields

AdminStudio 2024 | 27.0 | Application Manager

The Tag Creator Name, Software Creator Name, and Software Licensor Name fields could all refer to the same company, or could refer to different companies. It is entirely possible that one company could create the software (Software Creator Name), while a second company could license and distribute the software (Software Licensor Name), and yet another company could create the tag (Tag Creator Name). Any combination is possible.

When specifying these fields on the Software Identification Tag view, keep in mind the following:

•

Software Creator Name and Software Creator RegID—Should be consistent across all software packages created by a company.

•

Software Licensor Name and Software Licensor RegID—Should be consistent across all software packages licensed by a company.

•

Tag Creator Name and Tag Creator RegID—Should be consistent across all software identification tags created by the company.

Note:If the captured installation data for this application does not install any Add/Remove Programs entries (meaning that it will not be displayed on a machine’s list of installed programs), the following message will be displayed on the Software Identification Tag view:

No software ID tags will be created because no Add or Remove Program information was detected in the captured data.

However, if you build this project into a Windows Installer package and then import that package into Application Manager, a software tag file will be created.
