Have a look at 'pkginfo' This will list all software packages on the system. However it will only list the software which is in Solaris package format. Any other third party software which is not installed with 'pkgadd' will not be listed.

It really depends on what the software is and how well it was written in the first place.

Many vendors include options in their code to allow you to get the info you want,
try calling the application with a parameter of -V or help. Or possibly no parameter at all.
