BSA SoftScan™ 

The BSA Software Scanner collects and analyzes version information about software installed on a computer. 

Using SoftScan, you can: 

Easily collect information about all software installed on every PC in your organization. 

Determine upgrade needs by reviewing the versions of any application installed on all of your company's PCs. 

Determine license compliance by comparing the number of installations of any version of any application with the actual number of licenses your organization owns. 

Free up disk space and alleviate software conflicts by finding multiple versions of the same application on any PC. 

SoftScan includes two separate applications: 

The SoftScan Wizard collects software version information from selected disk drive(s) on individual computers. 

The SoftScan Administrator primarily operates as a reporting tool and supplies a collection of organizational functions to be utilized by the System Manager. 

System Requirements 

Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows for WorkGroups, Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.5 or higher. 

Installing SoftScan 

NOTE: If you received a copy of SoftScan on two diskettes prior to July 29, 1997 you should delete the files on those disks and download the two new files from our website. 

SoftScan's Setup program needs to be run only on the computer of the network administrator or system manager who will be coordinating the information gathered by SoftScan. The Setup program will install both the SoftScan Administrator, as well as the SoftScan Wizard. You may use the SoftScan Administrator to copy the Wizard (and other related files) to a client disk which may be used on all your organizations Windows computers.
