Dit programma is vaak gebruikt door systeembeheerder of mensen, die computers installeren voor hun werk of vrienden en willen alle informatie op één centrale plaats bewaren. Dit kan je helpen om het werk efficienter te maken. Dankzij dit programma heb je minder tijd (= geld) nodig om er achter te komen wie wat nou geďnstalleerd had. Als er problemen ontstaan, weet je in een paar muisklikken wat er in de computer zit. Het enige wat je hoeft te weten is de naam van de klant/vriend. Natuurlijk moet je eerst alle gegevens noteren, maar dit helpt je in de toekomst! Ook is het mogelijk om een overzicht bij de computer te leveren zodat de eigenaar ook precies weet wat er in zit.
Dit programmaatje is geen benchmark of een detect tooltje, het is gemaakt voor systeembeheerder of voor mensen die computers bouwen/maken. Voor benchmark en detect tooltjes moet je verder kijken op internet.
Als je het invul werk wilt vergmakkelijken, dan kun je een appart programma gebruiken: GVG Info Detect. Dit programmaatje kan de meeste hardware ontdekken en exporteren naar een bestand. Daarna kun je dit bestand importeren in GVG Info programma. Dankzij dit hoef je alleen maar een klein aantal dingetjes aan te passen en/of toe te voegen. Dit programma is natuurlijk niet nodig wanneer je GVG Info programma wilt gebruiken, het helpt je alleen maar om de informatie in te vullen. Het programma is alleen in het Engels beschikbaar.
De installer en het programma zijn beide ondertekend met een digitaal certificaat. Om Windows deze ondertekende bestanden te laten accepteren, is het nodig om het root certificaat van Ascertia te installeren als Certificate Authority. Installatie is simpel - gewoon dit downloaden en kies voor "Openen" en installeer de certificaat als "Trusted root certificate services". Na dit alles, zullen alle programma's als vertrouwd werken in Windows (ook Windows Vista!). Windows Vista KAN problemen geven als dit certificaat niet is geďnstalleerd.
