Software Inventory Tracking

Anexet's software inventory capability detects and lists every application installed on each monitored workstation — name, version, and host machine — viewable in the Client Console under Hardware and Software. It flags unauthorized or unexpected software against your approved configuration. Available in the Premium plan. Anexet is deployed on-premise; the vendor has no access to your data.

The Gap Between Approved and Installed

Every organization has an approved software configuration — but what is actually installed on endpoints almost always diverges, and that gap stays invisible until it becomes a problem.

Every organization has an approved software configuration. The reality on endpoints almost always diverges — unlicensed utilities installed by users, outdated versions that missed a patch cycle, shadow tools that bypass security controls. Without a live software inventory, that gap stays invisible until it becomes a problem.

Anexet closes the gap at the workstation level. The Inventory module, included in the Premium plan, collects a full software manifest from each agent-covered endpoint and presents it in the Client Console. Security and IT teams can see, in one place, exactly what is installed where — and compare that picture against what should be there.

Because the entire system runs on your own infrastructure, with no connection back to any vendor server, the software manifest stays inside your perimeter. Sensitive environment details — installed security tools, internal applications, version fingerprints — never leave the network.

Why it matters

  • Shadow software eliminated

    Unlicensed utilities, outdated patches, and unauthorized tools are surfaced automatically — before they become a compliance or security incident.

  • On-premise, no vendor access

    Sensitive environment details — installed security tools, internal apps, version fingerprints — stay on your own infrastructure and never leave the network.

  • Unified endpoint view

    Software data sits alongside hardware details in the same device card, giving IT a complete picture of each endpoint from one console.

What Anexet Captures: Software Installed on Each Workstation

The Hardware and Software module (Premium) collects and displays the following software-related information per endpoint.

Application discovery

  • Installed applications per workstation

    Premium

    Every piece of software registered on each PC, laptop, or server covered by an Anexet agent.

  • Application versions

    Premium

    Version strings captured alongside application names, supporting version-level audits and patch compliance reviews.

  • Host machine mapping

    Premium

    Each application entry is tied to a named workstation, so you can answer 'which machines are running this software?' instantly.

Compliance and deviation detection

  • Unauthorized or unexpected software detection

    Premium

    The console highlights computers whose installed software deviates from the approved configuration, surfacing shadow tools and policy violations.

  • Office map context

    Premium

    Workstations appear on a visual office map inside the Client Console, so deviations can be located physically, not just by network name.

  • Hardware co-context

    Premium

    Software data sits alongside hardware details (CPU, RAM, storage, peripherals) in the same device card, giving IT a unified view of each endpoint.

Software inventory requires the Inventory module, available in the Premium plan. Coverage details for specific operating systems are confirmed during the demo.

Continuous Collection, Inside Your Perimeter

The Anexet endpoint agent, running on each monitored workstation, continuously gathers the list of installed applications and their versions from the operating system. No manual scan or script is required. Data flows to the on-premise Inventory Server, which aggregates manifests across all monitored endpoints and surfaces them in the Client Console — where IT can navigate to any workstation via the office map or device list and open its device card.

Because Anexet is deployed entirely on your own servers, the software manifest never leaves your network perimeter. Sensitive environment details — internal tooling, installed security software, version fingerprints — remain inside your infrastructure and are never accessible to Scinero or any third party.

How Software Inventory Works

Four steps from endpoint agent to flagged deviations in the Client Console.

The Anexet endpoint agent running on each workstation gathers the list of installed applications and their versions from the operating system — continuously, with no manual scan required.

1

The collected manifest is transmitted from the agent to the on-premise Inventory Server, which aggregates software data across all monitored endpoints. Everything stays on your infrastructure.

2

In the Client Console, open the Hardware and Software module and navigate to any workstation via the office map or device list. The Software tab on each device card lists every installed application with version and installation details.

3

The console tracks computers that deviate from the approved configuration. A counter at the top of the office map view shows 'computers with deviations' at a glance, and individual device cards indicate which applications fall outside the approved set.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Anexet's software inventory capability.

What is a software inventory tool?

A software inventory tool automatically discovers and lists all applications installed across your endpoint fleet — recording application names, versions, and the specific machines they are installed on. It lets IT and security teams audit what software is present in the environment, identify unauthorized or outdated applications, and support license compliance reviews without relying on manual checks.

Software inventory is part of the Hardware and Software module, which is available exclusively in the Premium plan. The Standard and Advanced plans do not include the Inventory module. Contact Scinero for pricing — it is Price on Request.

Yes. Anexet is deployed on-premise; the vendor has no access to your data. All software inventory data — including application names, versions, and workstation details — stays on your own infrastructure and never leaves your network perimeter.

No. Because Anexet is deployed entirely on your own servers, Scinero has no connection to your environment and no access to your inventory data. Sensitive details about your internal tooling and installed applications remain inside your perimeter.

The Inventory module continuously collects the software manifest from each agent-covered workstation. The Client Console compares the installed software against the approved configuration and flags workstations with deviations — showing a count of 'computers with deviations' in the office map view. Each deviating workstation's device card details which applications are outside the approved set.

Anexet supports Windows, Linux, and macOS (including Apple Silicon / ARM64) endpoints via its agent. Coverage details for specific operating systems are confirmed during the demo; our team validates the exact matrix for your environment.

This page is specifically about the software discovery capability — detecting installed applications and versions at the workstation level. IT asset inventory (the broader topic) covers the full Hardware and Software module, including physical hardware, device peripherals, and the office map, in addition to software discovery. See the IT Asset Inventory pillar page for the complete module overview.
