CIM_SoftwareFeature
The CIM_SoftwareFeature class described in Table properties below defines a particular function or
capability of a product or application system. This class is intended to be meaningful to a consumer, or
user of a product, rather than to explain how the product is built or packaged. When a software feature
can exist on multiple platforms or operating systems (for example, a client component of a three-tiered
client/server application might run on Windows Server 2003), a software feature is a collection of all the
software elements for these different platforms. The users of the model must be aware of this situation
because typically they are interested in a sub-collection of the software elements required for a particular
platform.
