Inventory of Software on a single machine

[pfit50]

Is there a way to retrieve a list of software installed on a single machine?

By "machine", do you mean a Mac or iOS device?
In either case, the Details -> Applications tab should show everything installed for a Mac that you pull up in a search. I'm pretty sure a similar view exists for iOS devices, but its been awhile since I've used it.

Hands on the device, System Profiler will display a list of installed applications:

Apple Menu > About this Mac > More Info... > System Report ....
Then under Software, select Applications

Or did you want to get the answers remotely from another computer?

You can also use Application Distribution Report once you done a search for a particular computer. It is one of the options under the View Results As drop down menu.
