Some customers are wondering whether Software Metering is able to monitor Modern UI Apps. The answer is No.
Software Metering is designed to monitor executable files for the following purposes.
1. Determine how many copies of a specified software application are in use on the company network.
2. Determine whether there are any unused copies of a specified software application on the network.
3. Determine which users regularly use a specified software application.
Windows Store Apps use a very different way to start up and this cannot be monitored by Software Metering agent.
If you really want to monitor the Modern Apps running status. Here is a possible workaround.
When a Modern App launches, an Event Log will be generated under AppLocker Category as shown in screenshot below.
You may centralize the event logs, then use event filter to get the information you want. Please refer to the following document to configure computer to forward and collect events.
