Morning - I have two quick questions I am hoping to get answered. I am currently using the free install and looking to upgrade.

First - is it possible to get a scan to get a count of how many assets I have? I am pretty sure I need over the 100 for the free version.

Second - Can the Web Console be installed on a workstation vice a server??? or at the results better from a server?

Thanks for the info in advance.

Hi Bob, The DB and Web Console should be loaded on a server in my opinion. The console is not a desktop app, you hit it with a browser.

As for a scan, you could easily ping a range and see how many replies you get. The link below has a one line command you can use.

if you run the command with the following at the end.... >c:\temp\replies.txt
it would dump the output to a file in c:\temp called replies.txt then you could review the responses in notepad and count them. Not the best way but effective.

All I can tell you is the programs is worth the money for us at my office!
