Computer-implemented methods and apparatus are provided to determine whether components are implemented by an application executing on a computer. In one embodiment, the application is a server application, and the components define the role(s) performed by the server application in servicing clients. In an exemplary embodiment, an automated process is performed to collect information on the components which are implemented by the application, the components which are in use by the application, the state of the components, and the characteristics of the computer itself. If a user of the computer consents, the information may be transmitted to an information collection facility.
