# Class CIM_SoftwareIDTag
extends CIM_ManagedElement

Software identification (SWID) tags are used for tagging software to optimize its identification and management. Software Identification tags are defined in ISO/IEC 19770-2. This class will handle both version 2009 and 2015. See ISO/IEC 19770-2:2015 Section 8.5.1 for more information for the attributes used in this class.

## Class Properties

### Local Class Properties

Name | Data Type | Default Value | Qualifiers
--- | --- | --- | ---
Name | Data Type | Value
EntitlementRequired | boolean |
Description | string | EntitlementRequired specifies if an entitlement is required for this software.
InstanceID | string |
Description | string | InstanceID is an optional property that may be used to opaquely and uniquely identify an instance of this class within the scope of the instantiating Namespace. Various subclasses of this class may override this property to make it required, or a key. Such subclasses may also modify the preferred algorithms for ensuring uniqueness that are defined below. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID should be constructed using the following "preferred" algorithm: <OrgID>:<LocalID> Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness, <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>. <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If not null and the above "preferred" algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance. If not set to null for DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.
Key | boolean | true

Name | string |
Description | string | Name specifies the name/title of the software represented by this software ID tag. See ISO/IEC 19770-2:2015 Section 8.5.1 for more information.
Required | boolean | true
Patch | boolean | false
Description | string | Patch will be ture if this SWID represents a patch or modification to a product.
Supplemental | boolean | false
Description | string | Is this a supplemental tag that can be merged with the primary tag.
TagID | string |
Description | string | TagID shall be a globally unique identifier and shoudl be assigned a GUID (see ISO/IEC 19770-5 definition for GUID). See ISO/IEC 19770-2:2015 Section 8.5.1 for more information.
Required | boolean | true
TagVersion | string | 0
Description | string | TagVersion is the string representation of the version for tag. See ISO/IEC 19770-2:2015 Section 8.5.1 for more information.
Version | string | 0.0
Description | string | Version is the string representation of the version for the product for thsi tag. See ISO/IEC 19770-2:2015 Section 8.5.1 for more information.
Entity | string[] |
Description | string | There must be at least one Entity that represents the tagCreator. All other entities are optional, but recomended.
