Hi! I am trying to locate all computers in our organization that have a specific software installed. E.g. let's say MS Office, but infact it's Dentrix 8.0.96 i followed these steps ( in the attachment: Monitoring->Overview=>Reporting->Software-Companies and Products-> Computers with Specific Product) , then clicked on Values and located the application (Dentrix 8.0.96). clicked on "View Report" and it's blank.. this happens with ANY applications I select. What am I missing? i am kind of new to SCCM. Thanks, ![72613-sccm1.png][1] [1]: /api/attachments/72613-sccm1.png?platform=QnA

    It's installed manually by running an executable. Goes through series of prompts: "software/license agreement", installation path, etc..... i am confused with system vs user because i see in that report "Google Chrome" as well and also "zoom" which are user installed 3rd party apps, aren't they?

    Both chrome and zoom can be installed as a system. You need to review the user reg keys to confirm.

    Not sure what you mean installed as a system...can you provide some details on that? i never looked at software installation in that kind of way.
