This article describes what "IA" evidence is, and how to locate this evidence type on a machine.
FlexNet Inventory Agent collects evidence of installed applications on a machine and generates an inventory .ndi file. In the .ndi file, there may be evidence that has an "Evidence" type of "IA" as depicted below.
<Package Name="IBM InfoSphere Change Data Capture Replication Engine Update (Sybase)" Evidence="IA" Version="10.2.0.0" InstallDate="20140313T122900">
<Property Name="InstallLocation" Value="/CDC/ReplicationEngineforSybase"/>
<Property Name="Publisher" Value="IBM Corporation"/>
</Package>
"IA" evidence is captured from an InstallAnywhere registry file on the machine. This registry file can is created by application installers that are made with InstallAnywhere. The “IA” registry file is named ".com.zerog.registry.xml", and can be found in the following default locations.
On Unix based systems:
The location of this file will differ depending on the user that installed the application
On Mac OS X Systems:
"/Library/Preferences"
On Windows Systems:
"C:\Program Files\Zero G Registry" or under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Zero G Registry".

In the Unix if you removed the application you need to find the ".com.zerog.registry.xml" file edit and remove the uninstalled software entries from it. Then agent will not discover the removed software evidence.
