Use the Agent Client Collector application to collect software inventory
and usage data for the Software Asset Management application.

An agent is useful in discovering software deployed on end user machines such as laptops as well as machines deployed on isolated networks that only allow outgoing data transmission. You do not need to keep track of login
credentials or IP ranges, nor do you need to create a discovery schedule. The agent, along with other software, can be deployed via a deployment image and then it continuously performs discovery and sends data back to your ServiceNow instance. For more details on the Agent Client Collector application, see [Agent Client Collector](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=acc-landing-page&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-operations-management&ft:locale=en-US).

You can download the Agent Client Collector application from the ServiceNow Store.
