Finding out which users have certain software installed

I have been set a task at work to find out:
Which users have certain bits of software installed on their machine and have access to it, for licensing reason.
is there a simple search that can be done that creates a .csv file in the end that i can send t the manager.
Also needs to be able to be done with other bits of software.

Excuse the lack of knowledge i am new to Splunk and still leaning my way around.

I need to be able to give the business system manager a list of users that have visio installed on their machine and be able to replicate that for any other bits of software that need to be tightly controlled. The current dashboard from the Universal Forwarder shows: The hostname, the user, the OS, the manufacturer, model and the IP address. When you click on a computer name it does a search that shows a list of hat software is installed. The problem of trying to export it as a .csv file is it exports the list of software into one cell on excel and is a mess to read. It also displayed the all of the software whereas i am trying to get a list of which computers have a certain bit of software installed.
