Fetch a complete list of installed software from any remote Windows machine in seconds. Zecurit’s free software inventory tool gives IT administrators instant visibility into what is installed across their endpoints, with no remote desktop access required, no agent on the target machine, and no need for a full IT asset management platform.
A software inventory tool scans a Windows computer and returns a list of all installed applications, including application name, version number, publisher, and installation date. In an IT environment, software inventory is a foundational practice that underpins licence compliance, security auditing, software asset management, and vulnerability management.
Zecurit's free software inventory tool performs this scan on remote Windows machines over your local network without needing an agent installed on the target machine. It uses native Windows remote administration protocols (WMI and WinRM) to pull inventory data directly from the endpoint.
Everything you need to scan, audit, and report on installed software across remote Windows endpoints, without a remote desktop session and without installing anything on the target machine
