Software security

A software archive needs enough context to remain useful: a clear version, a defined owner, and the records required to understand its intended use. The guide in this collection explores installers, license records, private packages, and supporting documents as distinct kinds of material. It also separates an archive from the operational management of active credentials. Use the workflow to decide what belongs in the collection and which access rules apply to each part. Test a small handoff and a recovery before depending on the archive. Adapt the process to existing release, approval, and entitlement requirements instead of treating possession of a file as permission to use it.
