Not every useful version number comes from the Windows uninstall registry.
For normal installed applications, the software audit is a good source.
For patched A9X components, that is not always true.
Some components are updated by patching, and the registry version is not the authoritative operational version.
That is why Cyber Detective Portal 2 now has a separate A9X Software Versions view.
What the view shows
The new view is available under All PCs.
It shows A9X component version information for the PCs currently visible in the selected fleet dashboard.
For patched components, the portal reads version information from Cyber Detective datastore ledger fields, including:
- agent version
- client version
- whether the client is installed
- last audit information
This keeps the A9X version report separate from the normal software inventory table.
Why separation matters
Mixing all version sources into one software table can look convenient, but it can also mislead.
If one component reports its true version through datastore and another reports a registry display version, those values should not be treated as the same kind of evidence.
The new view makes that distinction explicit.
Bottom line
Portal 2 now gives A9X software versions their own fleet view.
It avoids relying on registry versions where they are not authoritative and gives support teams a cleaner way to compare A9X components across vessel PCs.
