<p><font size="3" face="Default Sans Sarif">The IBM Endpoint Manager for Software Use Analysis team is pleased to announce the release of software catalog updates for SUA 1.3.x and 2.x. The major changes included in this update are shown below. Please review the change lists included in the SUA fixlet description for all details on changes.</font><br>
<p><font size="4" face="Arial"><b><i>Catalog 36</i></b></font>
<ul style="padding-left: 18pt"><br>
<font size="3" face="Symbol">· </font><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Additions for Microsoft 2013 Office Suites.</font><br>
<font size="3" face="Symbol">· </font><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Multiple updates for minor software titles.</font></ul>
<br>
<font size="4" face="Arial"><b><i>Catalog 35</i></b></font>
<ul style="padding-left: 18pt"><br>
<font size="3" face="Symbol">· </font><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">All versions of Microsoft Windows 8.1 have been added to the catalog.</font><br>
<font size="3" face="Symbol">· </font><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Some missing versions of Adobe Flash Player were added to the catalog.</font></ul>
<br>
<font size="4" face="Arial"><b><i>Catalog 34</i></b></font>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Major updates were made to enable detection of multiple Windows versions as well as versions of Microsoft SQL Server in SUA 2.x. Note that these changes have not only required catalog changes but changes in Analyses for SUA 1.x and 2.x. The "Installed Windows Applications" Analysis (SUA 2.x) and "Installed Application Information (Windows)" Analysis (SUA 1.x) are being updated for Catalog 34. <br>
<br>
For previous catalog versions, the updates to these Analyses may cause Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Windows to stop being detected in SUA 1.x. That effect is caused by the updated Analyses generating new values for properties which are used to match signature entries in the software catalog. Updating the catalog will enable the detection of that software again. Detection of other software titles is not affected.<br>
<br>
If you still need the previous versions of the Analyses mentioned above to support custom content, please contact IBM Support for assistance.</font>
