# Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)

Package Security Manager provides you with the ability to download `.json` formatted SBOM files for some of the most popular <Tooltip tip="Software files and information about the software, such as its name, version, and description, bundled into a file that can be installed and managed by a package manager.">packages</Tooltip> available on the open source market today. If you purchased a license with SBOM support, a passive SBOM <Tooltip tip="Mirroring is the process of copying data from a source and storing it in a new location, often on a scheduled basis.">mirror</Tooltip> is automatically created for you on your first login.

<Tip>
  Administrators can view the status of the SBOM mirror from the **All Mirrors** view.

<Note>
  Not all packages have an SBOM associated with them. If you try to view or download an SBOM from a package that does not have one, an error message appears to inform you that an SBOM is not available. Efforts are underway to provide SBOMs for all packages present in the Anaconda maintained <Tooltip tip="A location (URL or file path) in a repository where conda looks for packages.">channels</Tooltip>.
