How Tag Files Are Named

AdminStudio 2024 | 27.0 | Application Manager

AdminStudio uses the following format to name the software ID tag files that it creates:

    SoftwareCreatorRegID.UniqueID.swidtag

The tag file’s name is comprised of the following components:

SoftwareCreatorRegID—By default, AdminStudio uses the value of the Tag Creator RegID field on the Software Tagging tab of the General Options > Import Options > Software Tagging tab of the Application Manager Options dialog box, which is:

    regid.2009-06.com.flexera,AdminStudio

You may edit this value for a package that has been imported into the Application Catalog on the Software Identification Tag subtab of the Application Manager Home Deployment Type View. You can also edit this value for a Repackager project on the Software Identification Tag view in the Repackager interface.

UniqueID—This portion of the tag file name uniquely identifies the package by using the product GUID, which is the ProductCode of the MSI package or the unique string used for the Add and Remove Programs uninstall key name.
.swidtag—The .swidtag file extension is given to this XML file.

Here is an example of a software ID tag file name:

regid.2009-06.com.flexera,AdminStudio_6F7CB29F-1319-4816-B345-0856916EB801.swidtag
