I ran these test on a Dell OptiPlex running Windows 2008 R2 Workstation with two monitors and multiple external drives. Belarc Adviser works very well as you can see with server systems. Also works for XP, Vista, Windows 7.
Once I had to know my clients motherboard and processor type for a replacement. Having the client scan their system with Belarc Adviser would have saved me a trip to their house before I went to the neighborhood parts store.
Computer SoftwareThe screen-shot shows all software installed on my computer. Nice! There is also a screen for licensed software but I can’t show you that one !-) It reveals all the serial numbers to ensure you are properly licensed.
License informationI am not affiliated with Belarc I just like the tool and thought I would post it. Be aware of the licensing agreement before you go crazy scanning systems.
The license is
limited to personal use but does offer a charitable license at no cost “
under certain conditions” as written in their
FAQ section.
“The license associated with the Belarc Adviser product allows for free personal use only. Use on multiple computers in a corporate, educational, military or government installation is prohibited.”Belarc has a network version you can use commercially called
BelManage. It offers the same capabilities with a Configuration Management Database for centralized management and more and is intended for large IT departments.
