Smarter Security, Smoother Maintenance, and a Lot Less Manual Work

Earlier this month, we released Lansweeper Classic (On-Prem) v12, and it’s our most refined version yet — focused on smarter security, better visibility, and a smoother day-to-day experience for IT teams.

Whether you're still running v9 and missing out on two full cycles of improvements, or you're on v10 or v11 and ready for more control and polish, this release was built with you in mind. Every change reflects feedback from Lansweeper Classic users working across real-world environments.

This isn’t about reinventing how you work. It’s about making what you already do a lot easier.

 

🔐 Security improvements that make a difference

With v12, it’s easier to spot misconfigurations before they become risks — and stay protected without constant manual effort.

  • Per-asset firewall visibility for both Windows and macOS
  • Improved antivirus detection, including Windows Defender on LsPush-only assets
  • Platform upgrade to .NET 8, offering stronger cryptography, memory protection, and long-term Microsoft support
  • Manual update tracking to support audits and compliance

This is security that fits into your workflow — not around it.

 

🌐 Better visibility across IT, OT, and hybrid environments

Modern networks don’t sit neatly in one place. That’s why we’ve improved how Lansweeper Classic handles complex environments.

  • Passive discovery using CDP and LLDP
  • Hybrid asset merging to prevent duplicates and show the full picture
  • OT bus module consolidation for simplified inventories in industrial setups
  • Improved syncing across virtual infrastructure, including vCenter and Intune

You get more accurate data — and fewer blind spots.

 

⚙️ Less manual work, more control

Version 12 brings more flexibility, fewer interruptions, and easier scanning.

  • New Auto-Update Engine with full control and visibility
  • Smarter scan defaults and agent scan prioritization
  • Support for continuous scanning, even at or over the licensed asset count
  • Streamlined update logs and cleaner error reporting

The result? Fewer repetitive tasks. More time for what matters.

 

🖥A smoother experience for your team

You asked for it. Version 12 delivers:

  • Dark Mode for the Classic Console
  • Faster performance across the board
  • A more usable, more comfortable interface

It’s not just more powerful — it’s easier to live in, too.

 

Still on v10?

That version is now outside our official support window, and you’re missing two full rounds of improvements. Version 12 brings critical enhancements in security, discovery, performance, and usability — and we’ve made the upgrade path simple.

 

🧭 Not sure what version you’re on?

You can check from your Lansweeper Console. And if you're not on version 12 yet, we’ve got everything you need to get there.
