That’s not enough to my knowledge. Enabling it is HW inventory just tells ConfigMgr to grab the info from the WMI classes however these are custom WMI classes that get generated and populated by the client agent but only if you enable them in AI itself; IOW, without doing this all you are doing is telling HW inv to pick up info from some non-existent classes.
You can certainly scope down which system you want to pick it up from in HW inv, but without enabling it in AI, I don’t think that there’s anything to pick up at all in the first place.

We have a shared infrastructure so I only want to enable it on our non-server devices.

Installed Applications attribute does return data. And the AI software reports do not gave any data. The end goal is to report on installed software in the environment, but for some reason the data is not being collected.

For clarity, what exactly do you mean when you say “query on Installed Software”? Also, simply adding the class in HW inventory is not sufficient. You must also enable it in AI in the console so that the clients know to gather the info in the first place.

I implemented the he classes in a custom client setting, not the default settings. Does that make a difference? Also, do I have to check the box for the sms_InstalledSoftware on the AI properties for this to work?

But you can see the AI classes getting inventories in the Hardware inventory cycle on the local computer. I would start there to confirm that it is working.

HW inventory happens every three days. It has been a week. When I try to query on installed software, none are listed. Does the asset intelligence point role need to be installed for queries and reports that use installed software to work? Thanks, Jeff Sent from my Windows Phone
