Identifying Program Products

For each program it recognizes, the Program Origin display tells you the product name, vendor name, and whether the vendor requires the program to be APF‑authorized. You can then use the Program Statistics Display (5.2) to see if the module really is APF‑authorized. Any module that does not require APF authorization but has it is a needless security exposure.

The Program Origin display might not be able to identify some program products. We are interested in hearing about these program products that you run into and will look into incorporating them into future releases of the Program Origin display.
