Hardware & Software Inventory & Compliance: LOGINventory™ WARNING: This software will make you idle and dependentPonte Vedra Beach, FL, June 07th, 2005: LOGINventory 4.2™, PC asset management software, now includes a Spanish user interface. Also integrated in this new version is the ability to highlight nodes not inventoried for a definable period. LOGINventory is also compatible with the Windows XP-SP2 operating environment, and will work without an agent, a hallmark of the product line. LOGINventory 4.2 can identify any publisher of resident software and automatically produce a detailed report of installed software products and patches. With the addition of an MS-Access style Filter Bar it is now easier than ever to create custom queries and reports. This information allows IT managers to determine what licenses and software are needed to standardize desktop computing capabilities, manage application upgrades and avoid the cost of "over-licensing". With a 'precise shopping list', IT departments of any size can reap substantial savings and support benefits from participation in the variety of available volume licensing programs from Adobe, Microsoft, Symantec, etc.Enterprises that fail to integrate usage and inventory data to manage their software assets will overbuy licenses for 60% of their portfolio and be non-compliant on 30% of their software, according to Gartner. "We are continuously responding to the changes in operating systems," said Ken Walser, VP and GM for LOGIN. "Our agent-less architecture gives IT managers, coping with all the issues surrounding the implementation of SP2, one less thing to worry about while still providing them with a powerful, easy-to-use asset management tool." Under Windows XP-SP2, stricter security protocols have made network asset management more difficult. LOGINventory 4.2 does not require the RPC port, a common interface used by many viruses and threats to gain access to PCs, to be open. By only using the File and Print Services Port, LOGINventory 4.2 still provides an accurate accounting of resident software and hardware - without the need of an agent on each node. LOGINventory 4.2 is available free for download to existing LOGINventory customers. New customers of LOGINventory can download a trial version that supports the scan of 20 Windows and 20 non-Windows devices on the network. This trial version can then be upgraded to a full version with a software key provided by LOGIN for as little as $5.60 per PC. For more information on LOGINventory 4.2, visit www.loginventory.com.
