The method comprises receiving a product identifier comprising at least one mandatory software item and a related product priority. The method includes further determining a scan type for each mandatory software item of all product identifiers of all received related product priorities, performing a priority-based software discovery, using a next scan type for each of the at least one mandatory software items for each of the at least one product identifiers for each of the received product priorities, starting with a highest priority, requiring the next scan type, and repeating the previous step of performing the priority-based software discovery with a next scan type until all scan types for mandatory software have been executed.
