Get started with OpenLogic

Posted by : Dr. Root | 07 September, 2007 | Published in

OpenLogic Discovery is a free software tool that can help you identify and manage the open source software installed on Solaris, Linux, and Windows workstations and servers.

Using OpenLogic Discovery you can quickly scan a system for installed open source packages, including packages that were not explicitly installed but were bundled with other software. The software then provides a detailed inventory of the open source software identified on the system, including version numbers for each package found and files that have been partially installed, moved, or renamed.

OpenLogic Discovery identifies software by digital fingerprints, checking the fingerprints against a library of more than 5000 versions across 900 of the most commonly used open source packages. This library is expected to grow to encompass additional packages.

If you'd like to try OpenLogic, simply go to:
