Issue/Introduction
Where can I find or get the version-specific MSI GUIDs or Product Codes for different Sensor Versions?
Environment
Carbon Black Cloud Sensor: All Versions
Microsoft Windows: All Supported Versions
Resolution
There are a couple of methods to get the Product Codes or MSI GUIDs for different versions of the Carbon Black Cloud Sensor.
Directly from the MSI: https://community.carbonblack.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/CB-Defense-How-to-Retrieve-a-Sensor-s-GUID-Using-Powershell/ta-p/83709
Via Windows Management Instrumentation: https://community.carbonblack.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/CB-Defense-How-to-Retrieve-a-Sensor-s-GUID-Using-Command-Prompt/ta-p/83712
Additional Information
The GUID or Product Code is unique per Sensor version and the bitness of the operating system (32-bit/x86 or 64-bit/x64)
All Sensors of a given version and bitness will have the same GUID or Product Code
e.g., all 3.7.0.1411 Sensors installed on x64 systems will have the same Product Code
