Detailed Description
The New-CMSoftwareMeteringRule cmdlet creates a Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager software metering rule. A software metering rule specifies a piece of software, along with version information. You can obtain necessary file information from Windows Explorer.

You can create software metering rules that specify which software to monitor.
