server machine data points are captured by PVT:

- USB port status
- OS version

Note:
- If the Software Manager and SQLite v3.27.2 do not exist on the computer, the PVT installer automatically installs them during PVT installation. You do not need to remove any other SQL Server version that is installed on the computer.
