Answer
Advanced Installer enables you to create a setup package that deploys information on the target computer required by the ISO 19770-2 standard to accurately identify the installed application.
The Software Identification feature is only
available starting with the Professional edition and project
type.
The implementation steps are:
1. Open your Advanced Installer project and navigate to “Software Identification” tab from the Product Details Tab.
2. Enable the software identification tag and fill in all the “Mandatory Tags” as described in Software Identification Tab. These tags are the base requirements for the software identification.
3. Optionally specify the remaining non-mandatory tags. These tags are not required but can produce a more accurate identification for your product.
Example:
In an example scenario, three entities must be taken in consideration:
- the Software Creator
- the Software Licensor
- the Tag Creator
These entities can represent one and the same organization or can be different. The Software Creator and Software Licensor can be marked as unknown if unavailable, but the Tag Creator has to be fully specified.
By enabling the "Entitlement Required" option, your software will
raise a more rigorous identification process. The auditing strategy
will be defined by your software's EULA, specifically based on
usability terms and conditions. The "Entitlement Required" flag should
be perceived as a recommendation for the software auditor to perform
an usage entitlement audit. More on software entitlement can be found
in ISO 19770-3 standard which
now is under development.
