Software Identification Tag View

AdminStudio 2024 | 27.0 | Repackager

Edition:This feature is available in AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.

When you use Repackager to convert a legacy package to a Windows Installer package, by default a tag file is generated for each package when the Windows Installer package is built. You can view and edit tag information in the Repackager interface's Software Identification Tag view.

The Software Identification Tag tab includes the following properties:
