Steel Inventory Version 1 descriptions Steel Inventory is a network inventory auditing program that allows you to keep track of software & hardware changes across your network. After an initial scan you can generate a snapshot that includes the current hardware & software information & allows you to detect changes that were made later by comparing the snapshot with a current scan. In case of changes the machines are marked & the changed items can be viewed. The program is useful to detect newly added or removed software as well as hardware devices that have been removed or added. In addition you can also use the program for license tracking & be alerted if software licenses have been exceedd by to many installations. Other features include automatic refresh & reports. Steel Inventory does not require any software installation on the remote machines .
