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
Instructions
There are two ways to change the software status:
1st way

Access the Monitoring > Computers > Softwares menu
Select one or more of the desired software
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
Through the software edition, individually:

We recommend creating alerts so that the installation of forbidden software on computers generates automatic alerts, helping to maintain the organization's compliance and security.
