LanSweeper is an IT asset management and network discovery tool designed to help organizations gain complete visibility and control over their IT infrastructure. It automatically scans and identifies all devices connected to a network—such as computers, servers, routers, printers, and IoT devices—without the need for installing software on each device.
How does lansweeper work
LanSweeper operates by scanning your network to discover all connected devices and collecting detailed information about each one. LanSweeper performs agentless scanning, meaning it doesn’t require software agents to be installed on each device. It uses various network protocols such as SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation), SSH (Secure Shell), and HTTP/HTTPS to communicate with and gather data from devices.
LanSweeper tracks software installations and usage across all devices. This helps ensure compliance with software licensing agreements and prevents over- or under-licensing, potentially saving costs.
