# Client Software Distribution using Integration Hub {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Use Client Software Distribution (CSD) to distribute software from the Service Catalog using third-party management systems.
Create all the records necessary to deploy software from Service Catalog
requests, including software models and catalog items. You can use the CSD application to
automate the deployment and [revocation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/N2d2tnAGTsEAfipSPaXllA "Revoke software without any user interaction using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) if the software configuration specifies an SCCM uninstall collection, even if the software was installed by some other process or user.") of software
from an SCCM host using the [Microsoft SCCM spoke](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/kfMH60rR1TqkrcFuHk9mjg "Automate management of user collections, device collections, and application deployments on a Microsoft System Center Configuration Management (SCCM) server.").
You can define lease periods for software distributed from the Service Catalog
and allow lease extensions in some cases, pending approvals. Deployment is accomplished using
Integration Hub flows, subflows, and actions.

Integrates with [Software Asset Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_SAMOverview&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-it-asset-management&ft:locale=en-US) to manage
license counts for deployed software.
