Change software status

Software status allow you to classify whether a piece of software is allowed or forbidden within the organization.

By linking statuses to software, you can set up alerts to identify when forbidden software is installed on a computer.

Software registered automatically by reading the DCA and Cloud Connector agent is initially assigned the status pending, and will remain with this status until it is changed.

Software registered manually is assigned a status during registration, but the status can be changed later.

Who can use this feature

Users with the Admin or Edit software permissions

  3. Click the Allow button to change the software's status to allowed, or click the Not allow button to change the software's status to forbidden

2nd way
