The record

Purpose: iVentoy is a PXE/HTTPBoot server for booting and installing operating systems on multiple machines over a network.
Supported systems: The maker says iVentoy supports more than 110 common OS types, including Windows, WinPE, Linux, Unix, and VMware.
Server platforms: The server runs on Windows and Linux, with the page specifying x86_64 and ARM64 Linux support.
Boot modes: Client support includes x86 Legacy BIOS and IA32, x86_64, ARM64, and LoongArch64 UEFI modes.
ISO booting: It boots ISO files directly without extracting them and preserves their native boot menu style.
Deployment features: It supports simultaneous installations of different operating systems on multiple clients, boot passwords, MAC address filtering, and filtering ISO files by client hardware architecture.
Automatic installation: Users can assign unattended installation scripts to ISO files, including Windows unattend XML and Linux distribution scripts, without rebuilding the ISO.
DHCP integration: iVentoy has an internal DHCP server and can also work with third-party DHCP servers; its FAQ says DHCP Proxy is not supported.
Secure Boot: Secure Boot is supported, but the maker says client Secure Boot currently works only on x86_64; bypass mode requires enrolling a key on first boot.
HTTP file access: Its integrated HTTP server can serve files inside ISO images without unpacking them.
Trial limitation: The downloadable ARM64 build is labeled Free-Trial for testing and is limited to one client.
Download integrity: The download page tells users to check the SHA-256 hash after downloading.
Support: The maker directs users to the forums for general issues or to longpanda at [email protected].
License restriction: A Pro license file is tied to machine codes, can bind up to two machines, and a bound machine code cannot be removed.
