Comprehensive IT Asset Inventory with Lansweeper

Hardware, Software, and Users—All in One Place

Lansweeper provides a single pane of glass for monitoring all hardware, software, and user-related data. Clicking on an individual asset record gives IT teams granular details, including:

• Hardware Specifications: CPU, RAM, disk space, network adapters, serial numbers, etc.
• Installed Software: Application name, version, license details, and security vulnerabilities.
• User Details: Who is using a particular device, login history, and access permissions.

With complete visibility, businesses can easily track asset locations, detect unauthorized software, and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Lansweeper automatically detects all devices connected to the network. It scans:

✅ Windows PCs & Servers
✅ Linux & macOS Devices
✅ Printers & Scanners
✅ Routers, Switches, and Firewalls
✅ Cloud Instances & Virtual Machines

It also enables change tracking, which means IT teams can monitor when a device was added, modified, or removed from the network.

2. Software Inventory & License Management

Lansweeper simplifies software audits by cataloging all installed applications across company devices. IT teams can:

• Generate detailed software inventory reports
