The record

Purpose: Total Network Inventory 6 is a PC inventory system for IT audits and asset management.
Scanning: It scans Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, ESX/ESXi, and SNMP-enabled network devices.
Agentless setup: The maker says regular network scanning requires administrator credentials and does not require agents on remote computers.
Inventory and reporting: It stores device inventory centrally and supports customizable reports that can be exported in formats including XLSX, PDF, RTF, CSV, and HTML.
Change tracking: Its change log compares scan snapshots and records hardware, software, service, and hotfix changes.
Active Directory: TNI can synchronize with Active Directory, including scheduled synchronization; the maker documents LDAPS support for encrypted directory connections.
Security: The technical paper says service data, including user information and device login credentials, is stored separately from device data and that all data is compressed and encrypted.
Data handling: The product EULA says it has no integrated mechanisms for transferring inventory information or other sensitive data outside the user's network.
License terms: The store describes a perpetual license for the current version, one year of updates included, and optional updates during the year for 30% of the license price.
Notable limit: The licensing page defines a node as a computer, server, network printer, router, or other network device with an IP address; manually added custom assets do not count as nodes.
Support: The maker lists premium support with the license and provides support email, telephone contacts, documentation, and a demo booking option.
Intended users: The maker describes uses including managing thousands of devices in education, healthcare IT, and IT service providers' client networks.
Company: Softinventive Lab says it was founded in 2006 and lists its address in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.
Headquarters: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
