Software Delivery

The Administrators or personnel with appropriate access can deliver a software or an application to the specified systems at a specified time in an organization. The software can be delivered remotely or through an agent. You can view the status of each software installation and record the details of the user system for reference. You can configure the software, store them in the database, and deliver them according to the organizational needs.

  1. Configuring Software: Configure the software that needs to be installed by the Asset Agent or remotely on target devices. For more information, see Configuring Software Package.
  2. Software Delivery Schedule: You can install software on the employees’ computer systems based on the organizational requirements. Set the arguments and pre-conditions for the software to be installed. Set the timings and date for the software delivery/installation on the specified Assets. For more information, see Configuring Software Delivery Schedule.
  3. Checking Software Delivery Status: View the status of software delivery for each Asset. You can view the software delivery task completion for each Asset, such as start and end time, status message with an indicator, output messages, and errors occurred during the process. For more information, see Viewing Software Delivery Status.
