Detailed Description
The Remove-CMSoftwareMeteringRule cmdlet removes one or more software metering rules from Microsoft System Center 2012 SP1 Configuration Manager.
Software metering monitors and collects software usage data from System Center 2012 Configuration Manager clients, such as when clients began using a particular software program and how long users have worked with that software. You can create software metering rules that specify which software to monitor.
You can specify rules to disable by ID or by product name, or use the Get-CMSoftwareMeteringRule cmdlet. You can use the Disable-CMSoftwareMeteringRule to temporarily suspend a rule.
