disagree  Sprachprof (X): that isn't a German term. As a programmer, I never heard it

Softwareprogramm


Explanation:
That's what I would use here.

Software-Engine (Nachtrag)


Explanation:
Hallo Heimo,

Im Unterschied zu einem Programm ist eine Engine eine zugrundeliegende Software auf der andere Applikationen ausgeführt werden, z.B. war dBase lange Zeit die Engine für Datenbankanwendungen. Im Wesentlichen funktioniert eine Engine ähnlich einem Betriebssystem, indem es bestimmte Funktionen bereitstellt, die die Applikation schließlich nutzt. Fast alle Multimedia-Anwendungen basieren auf Engines.
