Software Reports

The Express PC Audit & Inventory Tool offers reports that show information about installed software including:

  • Operating system such as service pack, version, and serial number such as hotfix ID and installation date.
  • Installed products such as name, version, and manufacturer.
  • Running processes such as name and executable path.
  • Services such as name, executable path, and state.

PC software reports can be used to:

  • Troubleshoot PC performance issues by viewing running applications and services.
  • Identify the presence-or absence-of critical security updates or hotfixes.
  • Find out what software versions are installed in order to determine whether upgrades are necessary.
  • Generate a quick inventory of all installed software when upgrading to a new PC, so you know what needs to be re-installed on the new system.
