Support for ISO/IEC 19770-2
ISO/IEC 19770-2 is an international standard for creating software identification (SWID) tags. The tags are XML files that are used for discovering and identifying software. They are delivered with software products and contain unique product-related information such as its name, edition, version, whether it is a part of a bundle and more. SWID tags facilitate software discovery and the overall process of software asset management.
Supported schemas
License Metric Tool supports SWID tags in the
19770-2:2014-CD1 and 19770-2:2015 schemas. For more information about each schema, see the following
