# Introduction

The following is a description of the Software Management in Asset Management. CapaInstaller Software Management makes it easy for IT administrators to keep track of how many licenses are installed and where they are used. Software inventory details include a full list of all versions of each software application installed on the network. Managers can also see exactly which versions are installed on any machine or a full list of all machines using a specific package.  
    
 Our definition of software is the actual software installed on the pc, the word application group covers the software including properties. Software Management supports both Windows PCs and Mobile devices.
