Thanks Mike. My assumption is that the Application catalog is based on User assigned apps, whereas Software Center is based on Device assigned apps? Maybe I am wrong here.
I don't currently have that set up, as I wasn't sure if it would confuse users to have 2 different places to install software depending on what the requirement is. I am hoping to be able to use Software Center for all the apps we want users to be able to install. I will look more into it though, as that may be a better solution. I have not looked at a third party solution yet as we purchased SCCM for these types of scenarios.

For free, it might meet your needs and you can certainly create user based installs... Have you checked out 3rd party vendors like 1E shopping or Flexera? "I would think I create a collection called MS Project, and add the machines as we get approvals, then it will show up in Software Center" - Yes, that would work.

Let's say I have a sales person who requires MS Projects. Now this particular software is licensed based, so I don't want to make it available until it is approved. I don't want to use the built in "requires approval" in SCCM. I just want the software to be made available after we get the approval, so they can install it themselves. What is the best way to allow certain users the ability to see the available package in the Software Center. Would this be a User install only? We currently only install per device. We get a lot of request for certain software, and currently they are not made as packages yet (just starting to use SCCM 2012) so I am looking at making these available but want to control it so that it only appears once we "add the machine or user to a collection or group". I would think I create a collection called MS Project, and add the machines as we get approvals, then it will show up in Software Center? Hope this makes sense. Thanks, Kevin Johnston
