Zusammenfassung:A system for collecting use data of a device includes an agent of the device and an administrator for the device. A communications network, such as the Internet or other network, connects the agent and the administrator. The agent hooks an operating system of the device and detects use data of the device. The agent via the device communicates the use data of the device to the administrator over the network. A cache of the device is shared by the agent and the operating system of the device, and is accessed by the agent to obtain the use data hooked by the agent. The agent can accumulate the use data for the device in a log of the device. The agent communicates the logged use data, either at programmed or pre-set times or on request for use data from the device by the administrator.
