We provide the
Micro Focus Support Scan utility to gather information about your computer environment, the status of
Micro Focus products installed, and other statistics relevant to troubleshooting problems on your machine, including:
- The amount of memory in your computer
- Computer storage capacity
- Details of your operating system
- Set environment variables
- Running processes
- Status of services

- The names, release numbers, install dates, and install locations of all

- The names, release numbers, install dates, and install locations of all non-Micro Focus products
