We have significantly redesigned the mechanism and interface of the "Data Transfer" window based on your feedback to the support team.
TNI 6 introduces two main innovations: collection of hardware sensor statistics and transition to 64-bit architecture.
Overview
Total Network Inventory 6 Professional provides powerful tools for program inventory and license compliance audits. Introducing the Software Asset Management module.
All apps from your Windows and macOS devices are gathered in a single place with comprehensive search and filtering capabilities. Browse, organize, and discover your software and installations, star important items, assign tags, add comments, and much more.
Don't waste your time setting up the SAM module. TNI has a built-in updatable application database, which allows the program to automatically divide your apps into paid, free, or shareware, assign a category, and select an icon to be displayed in the list.
Store data on all the software certificates you own along with their parameters, keys, expiration dates, prices, and all the accompanying documents, such as invoices and EULAs.
Make sense of all the critical data on program distribution and licensing in your network. See what applications are currently licensed and which are not, with activation keys of popular software detected automatically! Get exhaustive info about licensing problems.
Build fast and accurate reports on any aspect of your software and license inventory, such as a list of installations, a licensing summary, or a detailed description of all the licensing problems. Automate reporting with Task scheduler. Copy, export, or print your reports in a wide array of formats.
Track the presence of programs on specific devices. Merge different versions of the same apps manually, or automate it! Use regular expressions to improve search results. Discover what any application is for using quick shortcuts to Google search or the developer's website.
Software inventory
TNI, like any self-respecting IT asset management software, processes the apps found both on Windows and macOS devices. The database of all your programs is presented in the most convenient way possible. Search applications by title and version with instant search. Apply filters to see all the software from a specific publisher, installed on selected devices, etc. Combine search and filters in any way you need.
TNI 6 includes a program database that can significantly speed up the software inventory process. It will automatically divide the detected applications into categories, set the distribution model, and even display their icons from our collection. All that remains for you is to assign the software to licenses.
Select one or several software items and immediately see all their installations.
Reports
Display any information from the SAM module as a detailed report. The program already contains many templates that allow you to obtain any data in the form of a table in just two clicks. Whether it is a list of software that is not allowed to be installed or activation keys found during a scan - the appropriate report is always at hand.
Didn't find a suitable template? Create your own unique report using a special constructor. Any data can be filtered by specified conditions and presented in a single table.
Don't waste time looking. Pin frequently used reports to the top of the list of templates.
All software and license reports can be copied, printed, or exported to one of the popular formats. In addition, the process of uploading and sending reports can be fully automated using the Task Scheduler.
License management
Many SAM systems represent a license as a "number of activations". We know there is more to it than that.
After purchasing any software license, add it to your SAM storage. Attach the certificate to the appropriate application. Specify its price, purchase date, and expiration date.
Set up the custom licensing model for each license in one of many available ways. Does it provide an activation key? Perhaps several keys? How many activations does each key allow for?
Add further important information, including documents, images, or any other files.
Create as many as you need and manage app licenses effectively.
After it is created and set up, you'll automatically see your licensing status.
Licensing status
TNI 6 automatically calculates the license compliance status based on the thorough data on software distribution in your network along with information about all the licenses you possess and their properties.
You can see the licensing status per software item or per license. Distinct color-coding will make any problem stand out at a glance. Simply click the status message in order to drill into the detailed explanation of what is currently wrong.
The scanner will detect activation keys for some programs. All installations with a key but no appropriate license will appear in the licensing inbox.
Once calculated, the status is kept up to date and reflects the changes to your storage.
Other features
As the network administrator, you expect some apps to be installed on certain devices, but not on others. With Software tracking, you can mark a program as Must-have or Forbidden for explicit sets of computers.
Most of the time, the exact minor version of a program is not that important. With TNI you can combine all the different versions in one row, making your life much easier. The process of merging versions of the same software can be fully automated in order to keep the list of programs easy to read and up-to-date. You can unmerge them at any time.
If you come across a program that you know nothing about, then the Software accounting module will quickly take you to the developer's website or initiate a search for the application name on Google.
Perform tricky searches with regular expressions and save them for later use.
