The name used to identify this SoftwareElement. Manufacturer of this SoftwareElement.

The name used to identify this SoftwareElement.

Date that this BIOS was released.

This is an identifier for the SoftwareElement and is designed to be used in conjunction with other keys to create a unique representation of the element.

The SoftwareElementState is defined in this model to identify various states of a SoftwareElement's life cycle.

Possible values are:

• 0 = Deployable — Describes the details necessary to successfully distribute it and the details (Checks and Actions) required to move it to the installable state (i.e, the next state).
• 1 = Installable — Describes the details necessary to successfully install it and the details (Checks and Actions) required to create an element in the executable state (i.e., the next state).
• 2 = Executable — Describes the details necessary to successfully start it and the details (Checks and Actions) required to move it to the running state (i.e., the next state).
• 3 = Running — Describes the details necessary to manage the started element.

The TargetOperatingSystem property specifies the element's operating system environment. The value of this property does not ensure that it is binary executable. Two other pieces of information are needed. First, the version of the OS needs to be specified using the class, CIM_OSVersion Check. The second piece of information is the architecture that the OS runs on. This information is verified using CIM_ArchitectureCheck. The combination of these constructs clearly identifies the level of OS required for a particular SoftwareElement.
