A .NET developer can use WMI to obtain information about drivers installed on the client machine, verify whether the system is licensed or not, check for hardware configuration and a lot more.

The specific query type is called WQL (WMI Query Language). Don’t let the name confuse you. It is still very similar to SQL.
