Lansweeper can retrieve and display the hardware and operating system lifecycle data of your assets. Scanned properties include the general availability date of the hardware or OS, end of life (EOL) date, and end of support (EOS) date. For more information, check out Lansweeper for Asset Lifecycle Management.
