Novell ZENworks Network Access Control checks the Windows registry on the endpoint for the
existence of software. Most software vendors record their product information in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software registry key using the following format:
<vendor>\<software package>\<version>
For example, Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.6
You can enter any combination of these keys in the Novell ZENworks Network Access Control text
entry fields to detect a vendor, software package and version on an endpoint (for example, you can
also enter Mozilla\Firefox or simply Mozilla) and Novell ZENworks Network Access
Control searches for them in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software registry key sub-tree.
TIP: The entries are not case sensitive. This test simply checks to see if the registry key exists in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software. So, these values
must match the registry keys as displayed in the registry editor. If you just specify Mozilla (or
mozilla) and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mozilla exists in the registry, the test would
match.
To find the software registry keys on the endpoint:
1 Select Start>>Run
2 Type:regedit
3 Click OK.
4 Expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key.
