You must specify the software whose operation time you want to collect. This specification is required in order to obtain software operation time.

- Software list
- Displays in tree format a list of the software items whose operation time is obtained by the clients and programs included in the listed software. A software item is indicated by the icon

, and a program included in a software item is indicated by the icon ![[Figure]](FIGURE/ALT0177.GIF)
.
- The configuration of programs included in a software item is called the software configuration definition. When you double-click a software item, the Software configuration definition dialog box opens, enabling you to change the software configuration definition.
- You can select more than one item from Software list. When you select software and a program at the same time, it is assumed that the software is selected.
- Add
- A menu opens, enabling you to select a method for adding programs whose operation time you want to obtain.
- Add by manual settings
- If you choose this method, the Software Information Settings dialog box opens. Add to Software list by specifying property information for the program whose operation time you want to obtain.

- Software name (you must specify this item)
- Specify a maximum of 50 bytes for the software name. You cannot specify |.
- Software version
- Specify a maximum of 50 bytes for the software version. You cannot specify |. You can omit this item.
- Program name (you must specify this item)
- Specify a maximum of 255 bytes for the name of a program included in the software. You can specify program names with the following file extensions:
- Note that the following symbols cannot be specified:
- \, /, :, *, ?, ", <, >, |
- Program version
- Specify a maximum of 50 bytes for the program version. You cannot specify |. You can omit this item.
- Program language

- Add by specifying the file
- If you choose this method, the Open File dialog box appears. You can load property information from a selected file and add it to Software list.
- When you select a file, the Software Information Settings dialog box in which the property information has been set appears.
- The following table shows the correspondence between the items set in the Software Information Settings dialog box and the file property information.

- Items for which property information is not set are blank.
- Add from software inventory dictionary
- If you choose this method, the Read from the Software Inventory Dictionary dialog box opens. Load the JP1/Software Distribution software inventory dictionary and set the Software Information Settings dialog box. You can specify conditions to narrow down the programs to be added. For details about how to specify conditions, see 3.2.5(2) Displaying only specified software.
- When you add programs from the software inventory dictionary, only data in the software inventory dictionary that is displayed for Software name and File name is loaded. If there is no data associated with Software name, the data associated with File name is loaded as the registered name.
- Change
- You can change settings for a program selected from Software list.
- Delete
- You can delete a software configuration definition and programs selected from Software list. If multiple programs are included in the software configuration definition, you can select specific programs to be deleted. If you delete all programs in the software configuration definition, the software configuration definition is also deleted.
When JP1/Asset Information Manager is linked, you can use the JP1/Asset Information Manager windows to check the number of software programs installed as well as the software operation status. To use JP1/Asset Information Manager to display the correct number of software programs installed, Software name and Software version specified in the software configuration definition must match the following information:
- For software that is acquired from JP1/Software Distribution installed package information
Package name and version
- For software that is acquired from JP1/Software Distribution software inventory information
Software name and version in the software inventory dictionary
- Organization of this subsection
- (1) Changing the software configuration definition
- (2) Notes on specifying the operation time to be acquired
(1) Changing the software configuration definition
When you double-click a software item displayed in Software list, the Software configuration definition dialog box opens. You use this dialog box to add programs to or delete them from the software configuration definition.
All software configuration definitions can contain a maximum of 500 programs.

- Software name
- Specify a maximum of 50 bytes for the software name. You cannot specify |.
- Software version
- Specify a maximum of 50 bytes for the software version. You cannot specify |.
- Add
- Adds programs to the software configuration definitions using Add by manual settings or Add by specifying the file.
- Change
- Changes the settings of the selected program.
- Delete
- Deletes the selected program. If you delete all programs, the software item is also deleted.
(2) Notes on specifying the operation time to be acquired
- It may not be possible to acquire the operation time of a program that quit immediately after it started, if the program quit too soon for the operation time to be acquired.
- When you change programs included in a software configuration definition and apply a new operation monitoring policy to a client, the operation time acquired by the previous operation monitoring policy may be added to the operation time acquired the first day by the new operation monitoring policy.
- The operation time can be acquired from a client whose version is 08-10 or later. If a policy that only sets acquisition of operation time is applied to a client whose version is 08-00 or earlier, the job will terminate successfully but it will not actually acquire the operation time.
- The program version is the File version that is displayed in the file properties. Its value might vary depending on the OS. If you specify a program version, use the value acquired by the same OS as for the client to which the operation monitoring policy is being applied. If you have acquired the program version automatically and its value differs from the one displayed by the client's OS, change the value manually.
