For anybody still considering deploying the InventorySettings.xml file update involved in the changes in this ARL release, I would suggest considering to hold off and wait for the next update to this file to be published to avoid any issues related to the following: Known Issue: Adobe Acrobat DC detection in InventorySettings.xml revision 66 may trigger a Windows Installer consistency check when inventory is gathered (IOK-932379).

Watch this FlexNet Manager Content Blog for an announcement about an ARL release containing a further update.

The issue noted in my previous comment has been resolved in the InventorySettings.xml file version 67, now available as part of Application Recognition Library #2705.
