The home grown application I alluded to in my previous post was written simply to track what we were running. It was motivated originally by Y2K and the need to get a handle on what programs actually executed; not just what we had installed or written over the years.
I can answer your question, however: ISVs 'solve the problem' by getting you to pay them lots of money not to worry about how they work. We now run SoftAudit, for example, and charge the cost to audit compliance. (I think that' s mental accounting rather than literal budgeting.) In any case, we still don't worry about how it works. . .
