The VAMT will display the Collecting product information dialog box while it collects the status of all installed products on the selected computers. VAMT will discover OEM, retail and volume license products of Microsoft Office 2010 and Windows® operating systems. When the process is finished, the newly discovered products and their licensing status will appear in the product list-view pane in the center pane. The VAMT will not provide status for Windows XP and Windows Server® 2003.

	Note
	Depending on the number of discovered products on the computers, there can be multiple entries of products having the same computer name under the Computer Name column in the product list view, and consequently the total number of discovered products could expand.
