PC Software Inventory 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.
