[<CommonParameters>] Description
The New-CMSoftwareMeteringRule cmdlet creates a 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.
Software metering monitors and collects software usage data from 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.
For more information about software metering in Configuration Manager, see Introduction to Software Metering in Configuration Manager.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
