TrakPC can be configured to look at individual PC registries
to see what software, and version, is installed.
By extracting
software names that are displayed in your Control Panel in
the Add/Remove Programs area automatically, you can determine
which software is on which PC, whenever an audit is necessary.
It is important to note that the TrakPC module does not
examine files on disks to determine what specific software
is installed. Instead, it uses registry scanning. In cases
where there is software on a PC which needs to be tracked
but is not listed within the registry, it is possible to
include an entry in an .INI file on the PC which lists the
software name and the appropriate file to look for. Then,
if TrakPC finds this file, it can return the software name
as one of the packages installed on the PC.
