Class CIM_Product
extends CIM_ManagedElement

CIM_Product is a concrete class that aggregates PhysicalElements, software (SoftwareIdentity and SoftwareFeatures), Services and/or other Products, and is acquired as a unit. Acquisition implies an agreement between supplier and consumer which may have implications to Product licensing, support and warranty. Non-commercial (e.g., in-house developed Products) should also be identified as an instance of CIM_Product. Note that software is handled a bit differently in the list of aggregated entities, above. This is because software can be viewed as a tangible asset (similar to PhysicalElements) AND/ OR as a set of features that make up a Product and are deployed. These are two different concepts, usually managed by different units in a business' organization. When software 'features' are described, the CIM_SoftwareFeature class from the Application Model is instantiated (where Features are Weak to/scoped by a Product). When a specific piece of software is acquired and perhaps warrantied as part of a Product, this is addressed by the class, SoftwareIdentity.
