# Class CIM_SoftwareIdentityComponent
extends CIM_Component

SoftwareIdentities can have an arbitrarily complex hierarchy. SoftwareIdentityComponent is used to construct that hierarchy. It SHOULD not be used to represent dependency. For example, if a 'support pack' represented by a CIM_SoftwareIdentity consist of multiple installable software packages then this association class enables a management client to determine all the SoftwareIdentities that are be contained in the support pack.
