version
You can select a software application in the table window and expand the row to show the following details for the selected application:

install path, including the drive and volume name

suite name
The discovery tools used to collect data about deployed software applications typically collect information only about individual software applications, not software suites. Administrators use the Software Suite Setup application to specify which software applications belong to a software suite. If an application is part of a software suite defined by an administrator, the suite name is displayed.
product ID, the registration number recorded for the software
organization that the software license is registered to
licensed user (that is, named user)
usage frequency
The discovery tool used to collect data determines how usage frequency is calculated. For example, some discovery tools collect data maintained by the Windows Add/Remove Programs feature, which determines usage counts based on the number of times a software application was used during the last 30-day period. In general, data collected indicates the number of times a software application is used in the time frame specified by the discovery tool.
Administrators specify a range for usage frequency and select a user-friendly text to display in the Computers (SP) application. For example, administrators can select the word DAILY to describe software used between 15 and 30 times or MONTHLY to describe software used between 1 and 2 times.
