CIM_SoftwareFeature class
The CIM_SoftwareFeature class represents a particular function or capability of a product or application system. This class reflects a level of granularity that is meaningful to a user of a product rather than the units that reflect how the product is built or packaged (captured using a CIM_SoftwareElement class). When a software feature can exist on multiple platforms or operating systems, the software feature is a collection of the software elements for the different platforms. In which case, the users of the model will be typically interested in a sub-collection of the software elements required for a particular platform. Because features are delivered through products, software features are always defined in the context of a CIM_Product class using the CIM_ProductSoftwareFeatures association. Optionally, software features from one or more products can be organized into application systems using the CIM_ApplicationSystemSoftwareFeature association.
Important
The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of its inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Properties
The CIM_SoftwareFeature class has these properties.
-
Caption
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64), DisplayName ("Caption")
Short textual description of the object.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
Description
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Description")
Textual description of the object.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
IdentifyingNumber
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: Propagated ("CIM_Product.IdentifyingNumber"), Key, Maxlen (64), MappingStrings ("DMTF|ComponentID|001.4")
Product identification, such as a serial number on software or a die number on a hardware chip.

InstallDate
-
-
Data type: datetime
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5"), DisplayName ("Install Date")
Date and time the object was installed. This property does not need a value to indicate that the object is installed.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
Name
-
Label by which the object is known outside of the data processing system. The label is a human-readable name that uniquely identifies the element in the context of the element's namespace.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
ProductName

-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: Propagated ("CIM_Product.Name"), Key, Maxlen (256), MappingStrings ("DMTF|ComponentID|001.2")
Commonly used product name.
-
-
Status
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (10), DisplayName ("Status")
Current status of the object.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

-
Qualifiers: Propagated ("CIM_Product.Vendor"), CIM_Key, Maxlen (256), MappingStrings ("DMTF|ComponentID|001.1")
Name of the product's supplier, which corresponds to the Vendor property in the product object of the DMTF Solution Exchange Standard.
Version
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: Propagated ("CIM_Product.Version"), Key, Maxlen (64), MappingStrings ("DMTF|ComponentID|001.3")
Product version information, which corresponds to the Version property in the product object of the DMTF Solution Exchange Standard.
Remarks
The CIM_SoftwareFeature class is derived from CIM_LogicalElement.
WMI does not implement this class. For WMI classes derived from CIM_SoftwareFeature, see Win32 Classes.
This documentation is derived from the CIM class descriptions published by the DMTF. Microsoft may have made changes to correct minor errors, conform to Microsoft SDK documentation standards, or provide more information.
