Property Description
There are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState.
These are Reboot (10) and Reset (11).
Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and may involve removing
power, to completely erase any existing state. The Disabled state requests an immediate
disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or accept any commands or
processing requests.
This property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on
CIM_Service), or can be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method
approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, because it allows an explicit
invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.
If knowledge of the last RequestedState is not supported for the EnabledLogicalElement,
the property is NULL or has the value 12 (Not Applicable).
TransitioningToState
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change — Indicates that no transition is in progress.
• 6 = Offline
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Defer
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot
• 11 = Reset
• 12 = Not Applicable — Indicates the implementation does not support representing
ongoing transitions.
Version
A string describing the Operating System's version number. The format of the version
information is as follows: <Major Number>.<Minor Number>.<Revision> or <Major
Number>.<Minor Number>.<Revision Letter>.

ClassificationDescriptions
An array of free-form strings providing more detailed explanations for any of the entries in
the Classifications array. Note that each entry is related to one in the Classifications array
located at the same index.
Classifications
An array of enumerated integers that classify this software. For example, the software MAY
be instrumentation (value = 5) or firmware and diagnostic software (10 and 7). The use of
value 6, Firmware/BIOS, is being deprecated. Instead, either the value 10 (Firmware) and/or
11 (BIOS/FCode) SHOULD be used. The value 13, Software Bundle, identifies a software
package consisting of multiple discrete software instances that can be installed individually
or together.
Each contained software instance is represented by an instance of SoftwareIdentity that is
associated to this instance of SoftwareIdentityinstance via a Component association.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Driver
