Abstract
A method for detecting a confirmation of a properly installed software product on a computing device, determining the software product installation properties of the properly installed software product, and storing information relating to at least one or more software product installation properties of the properly installed software product.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- (a) providing a computer program comprising instructions for generating a product definition for a software product and validating installations of that software product using the generated product definition;
- (b) loading the computer program at a first computer having a first installation of a first software product installed thereon;
- (c) executing, using a processor of the first computer, instructions of the computer program which generate a first product definition for the first installation of the first software product installed on the first computer, such generation including
- (i) generating, for each of a plurality of database tables of the first installation on the first computer, a hash of a list of column names for the respective database table,
- (ii) generating information about registry entries on the first computer for the first software product,
- (d) loading the computer program at a second computer having a second installation of the first software product installed thereon, and
- (e) executing, using a processor of the second computer, instructions of the computer program which attempt to validate the second installation, such validation including
- (i) comparing the generated hash values for the first installation to generated hash values for the second installation, and
- (ii) comparing the generated information about registry entries on the first computer for the first software product to registry entries on the second computer for the first software product.

A method comprising:
- (a) providing a computer program comprising instructions for generating a product definition for a software product and validating installations of that software product using the generated product definition;
- (b) loading the computer program at a first computer having a first installation of a first software product installed thereon;
- (c) executing, using a processor of the first computer, instructions of the computer program which generate a first product definition for the first installation of the first software product installed on the first computer, such generation including
- (i) generating, for each of a plurality of database views of the first installation on the first computer, a hash of a list of column names for the respective database view,
- (ii) generating information about registry entries on the first computer for the first software product,
- (d) loading the computer program at a second computer having a second installation of the first software product installed thereon, and
- (e) executing, using a processor of the second computer, instructions of the computer program which attempt to validate the second installation, such validation including
- (i) comparing the generated hash values for the first installation to generated hash values for the second installation, and
- (ii) comparing the generated information about registry entries on the first computer for the first software product to registry entries on the second computer for the first software product.

A method comprising:
- (a) providing a device comprising non-transitory computer readable media containing a computer program for generating a product definition for a software product and validating installations of that software product using the generated product definition;
- (b) physically coupling the device at a first computer having a first installation of a first software product installed thereon;
- (c) executing, using a processor of the first computer, instructions of the computer program which generate a first product definition for the first installation of the first software product installed on the first computer, such generation including
- (i) generating, for each of a plurality of database tables of the first installation on the first computer, a hash of a list of column names for the respective database table,
- (ii) generating information about registry entries on the first computer for the first software product,
- (d) loading the computer program at a second computer having a second installation of the first software product installed thereon, and
- (e) executing, using a processor of the second computer, instructions of the computer program which attempt to validate the second installation, such validation including
- (i) comparing the generated hash values for the first installation to generated hash values for the second installation, and
- (ii) comparing the generated information about registry entries on the first computer for the first software product to registry entries on the second computer for the first software product.
