Software

Generic software refers to complete software products or applications that are installed and used in an environment, viewed at a high level rather than at the level of individual components. It represents the overall software offering, such as an operating system, database, web server, middleware, or utility, including its name and release information.

The software running on your assets is displayed on this tab along with their details. You can inventory installed software, understand software classifications, and track licensing and lifecycle information.

Navigate to Inventory > Software to view the software details.

For each software, the following details are displayed:

Column	Description
Release	Name and version of the software release.
Asset Type	Asset classification for the software.
Type	Indicates whether the software is generic or component software.
Category	Category under which the software is classified (for example, Database, Utility, Middleware).
License	Licensing information associated with the software, if available.
Lifecycle	Lifecycle status of the software (for example, supported, deprecated, EOL, EOS).
Tags	Tags associated with the software asset for organization and filtering.

Group Software

The Group By dropdown enables you to organize and analyze software by grouping them according to a selected attribute. When you select an option from the Group By dropdown, the software list is reorganized into groups based on the chosen attribute.

Grouping Attributes

You can organize the software based on the following attributes:

Group By Attribute	Description
Category	Group software assets based on their functional category, such as database, middleware, utility, or application software.
Publisher	Group software assets by the organization or vendor that publishes the software.
Product	Group software assets based on product-related attributes. This option expands to the following sub-options:
Product > Name	Group software assets by the product name, allowing you to see all releases associated with a specific product.
Product > Market Version	Group software assets by the marketed version of the product, helping differentiate major product versions.
Product > Edition	Group software assets by edition (for example, Standard, Enterprise) when edition information is available.
