Abstract
A method of automated software management includes generating an initial update list including outstanding product updates for an endpoint. The method includes receiving from a third-party agent, product metadata related to products loaded on the endpoint. Based on discovered products, the method includes generating an endpoint-specific inventory including product metadata of the products loaded on the endpoint. The method includes identifying an unnecessary product update of the outstanding product updates not related to the discovered products. The method includes filtering the unnecessary product update from the initial update list to generate a modified update list including a subset of outstanding product updates and omitting the unnecessary product update. The method includes distributing only the subset of outstanding product updates of the modified update list to the managed endpoint.
