You would be forgiven for thinking that SCCM pulls this information because according to ServiceNow, it does. It makes a difference because in order to link the installations on a given system to your pool of Software Entitlements or Licenses, ServiceNow will need to know the edition. “Standard” and “Professional” would be your editions. In this example, Edition is the difference between Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Professional. I’ll use Adobe Acrobat as an example because a lot of people will be familiar with it. If you are asking yourself, “What is Software Edition?”, let me give you a brief example and then tell you why it makes a big difference when it comes to Software Asset Management. It can pull that information, but to do so requires a lot of work that will need to be done by someone who not only has access to all of the SCCM managed systems but someone who also knows how to write code in Powershell. It turns out that SCCM does not actually pull Software Edition information for software installed on the systems that SCCM manages out of the box. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In working with a client recently, we came across a problem that exists when trying to incorporate System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) software installations with Software Asset Management.
