  • Software discovery using exclusion
    Patent number: 11175909
    Abstract: An exclusion database is maintained for software discovery scans where directories within a file system are excluded according to discovered software artifacts, scan time parameters, and pre-defined exclusion definitions associated with software applications. A file system tree having directory-specific attributes for causing software discovery scans to limit scanning within the file system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 26, 2020
    Date of Patent: November 16, 2021
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation

  • Software discovery using exclusion
    Patent number: 10705829
    Abstract: One or more processors determine that one or more memory locations in a client computing device contain one or more software artifacts that provide a match to a first software signature. One or more processors send instructions not to scan the one or more memory locations against a second software signature.

  • Software discovery in an environment with heterogeneous machine groups
    Patent number: 9535677
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for software discovery in an environment with heterogeneous machine groups may be provided. A group comprising computing systems that have similar software program installations is defined. A first scan procedure is performed by scanning each computing system of the group using a first software signature catalogue to identify installed programs. Software signatures of identified installed programs are added to a base installation software catalogue. A second scan procedure is performed by scanning the group of computing systems using the base installation software catalogue to identify installed software programs.
