LOGINventory Changelog

What's new in LOGINventory 9.5.3 Build 16371

Mar 28, 2024

New in LOGINventory 9.5.2 Build 16269 (Feb 14, 2024)

  • License management: improved reliability when listing “detected products”.

New in LOGINventory 9.5.1 Build 16246 (Feb 9, 2024)

  • License management: Fixed a bug where Windows Server or SQL Server products did not reference the correct set of consumers (products created with version 9.5.0 may have to be deleted and added again).
  • “Related data” widget: For HardwareProduct queries, the devices are displayed in the widget again.
  • Improved timeout handling for reports.

New in LOGINventory 9.5.0 Build 16201 (Jan 26, 2024)

  • Management of Virtualized Operating Systems & Software:
  • The management of virtualized operating systems & Applications has been fundamentally redesigned and now makes it much easier and clearer to add corresponding products to license management, select the correct metric settings and store the corresponding licenses. The licensing type to be used (e.g. Windows Server Standard or Datacenter, or SQL Server Enterprise with or without Software Assurance) is now selected when a product is created, whereupon the correct metrics are set automatically. Changes to the calculation formulas have made it much easier to store the procured licenses: the number of procured core licenses and the resulting virtualization rights no longer need to be entered separately.
  • Cluster Licensing & Allocation of Licenses to Several Products
  • Brand new with version 9.5 is the new product type cluster licensing:
  • If several products have been created for a software in the LOGINventory license management, but the user does not want to allocate licenses to these products themselves, but instead wants to store the licenses in a “collective product” and then automatically distribute the licenses to the individual products, this is now possible via Cluster Product.
  • If several physical hosts have been interconnected to form a failover cluster and licensing is carried out with Windows Server Standard licenses, all cluster members must have sufficient licenses so that all VMs in the cluster can run on one host in the event of a failover. This case can also be mapped by a Cluster Product.
  • Numerous Other Improvements in License Management:
  • New License Editor: When adding licenses, a window opens in which all details can be entered and documents can also be linked directly.
  • Smart Duplication: Licenses can now be duplicated. If a license has a defined term, the term of the duplicate is automatically adjusted to the next period (e.g. month, quarter, year).
  • Drag & Drop of licenses: Licenses can be moved to other versions via drag & drop.
  • Info widget now also displays user data when selecting a User entry (e.g. in the list of consumers).
  • In the “Operating systems per VM via host” metric, hosts on which no VM has yet been found can now also be selected.
  • New option: “New subscription license“: This can be used to create licenses for subscriptions directly (e.g. for an online subscription) without having to create a corresponding product first. After entering the license details, you can select that a suitable product is created directly.
  • Manual counting: If a User or Device query is selected as a consumer, the corresponding users or devices are listed in the list of consumers and no longer just the number of rows is displayed.
  • Licensing per user: “Counting in each version” (no longer only “in highest version”) possible.
  • Significant performance improvements in the calculation of products.
  • GUI improvements when selecting the “Detected Products” to be added to the license management.
  • License distribution algorithm improved for consumers who require a different number of licenses.
  • When creating new products, the versions created are automatically sorted and duplicating and editing versions is much more efficient.
  • Report “Compliance Report” now contains editable fields.
  • New fields that can be queried:
  • For SoftwareProduct: Link to the host for products that are licensed “per host”.
  • RequiredHostLicensesMinVersion for SoftwareProductCompliance specifies the minimum version for which a host requires licenses.
  • The manual has also been expanded: In addition to the descriptions of the new functions, it now also contains many new examples that explain exactly how different products can be managed in LOGINventory’s license management.
  • Data import from csv files:
  • If an “Owner” is to be imported for a device, but the corresponding “Owner” string was not already present in the list of users, the import of the device in question previously failed. Now the device is imported anyway, the “Owner” remains empty.
  • A unique import name is no longer necessary – the same name is now permitted multiple times for different imports.
  • If there are many import definitions, it is now possible to delete multiple imports more reliably.
  • Topology display: Problems with initial saving of filter settings fixed.
  • Readout of Microsoft365 Cloud Subscriptions: Increased reliability when reading out large environments.
  • Password management: Encryption improved.
  • Improvements when cleaning up outdated data.
  • Capture of Fortinet switches: Improvements in reading the VLAN information from the Mac address table.

  • Calendar view: The new calendar view shows at a glance what is “coming soon”: Which certificates or licenses expire soon? Where does the warranty end? Which lifecycle entries (e.g. maintenance dates) are due soon? When were which devices handed over? You can now see all this data and more at a glance in the new calendar view.
  • New features for lifecycle entries: A new lifecycle entry can now be assigned to multiple devices at once, lifecycle entries can be categorized and edited more easily afterwards. Here you can find more about all options for lifecycle entries.
  • Offline Agent for macOS: For the first time, the Offline Agent is now also available for Apple macOS, so that you can regularly receive up-to-date inventory data from all your MacBooks, even if they are not in the network (e.g. work from home) and have not established a VPN connection. The transfer of the data can be done over the internet – just like with the Windows Offline Agent. More about this in the manual.
  • New version of Operations Manual and Management Summary: The two dynamic documents have been updated to provide even better templates for documenting your IT. Among other things, the documents now include diagrams. Examples can be found in the manual.

  • New Web API:
  • With the new Web API, queries can be published as endpoints so that the data in LOGINventory can be accessed using HTTP requests. This functionality is initially available in a beta version. You can find out how to activate the beta mode here.

New in LOGINventory 9.1.1 Build 14529 (Apr 28, 2022)

  • Breaking Change:
  • Differences between administrative acquisition and acquisition without administrator rights revised: In general, different information may be available in the two contexts. When capturing in both contexts (e.g. offline agent), there may be many unintended entries in the change history. The following changes have been made:
  • By default, services (entity: Service) that are dynamically created in the user context are no longer captured.
  • Can be changed by the switch //ForceAllPossibleData 1
  • By default, scheduled tasks (entity: ScheduledTask) are captured exclusively in the administrative context.
  • Can be changed by the switch //ForceAllPossibleData 1
  • By default, SQL Server information (entity: SqlServerDatabase) is no longer captured by Asset Inventory (or by running LOGINfo.exe). In the future, this will be done exclusively by the SQL Server inventory.
  • Can be changed by the switch //ScanSqlServerDatabases 1
  • Entity NetworkAdpater: DNS server and IntefaceIndex are now written sorted in ascending order
  • When reading connected network drives (entity: NetworkDrive) empty values are ignored
  • For the following entities, records are no longer treated as a “complete set of all available values”, but values determined in the user context are considered as a “subset”. Therefore, a “LastSeen” timestamp is now stored for these entities, which describes when the value was last read. Thus, entries that have not been encountered in any scan for longer than X days can now be deleted via the “Cleanup of obsolete asset data”:
  • AppPackageInfo
  • BrowserExtensionInfo
  • Database
  • InternetSettings
  • NetworkDrive
  • PrinterInfo
  • ScheduledTask
  • SoftwarePackageInfo
  • SystemDriverInfo
  • New:
  • New parameter for changing the fingerprint entry behavior: The IgnoreFingerPrintRules NameOnly parameter can be used to specify that the name of a device is not used as matching criterion for the fingerprint. More information here.
  • New:
  • Scan of Hyper-V / VMware ESXi: IP addresses are determined for virtual machines (if available) and the information is used to display data about VMs which are not (yet) pinged in the query “All IP addresses”
  • Important:
  • Fixed an issue that caused the “Owner” to not be automatically updated even though this was turned on in the settings.
  • New:
  • Percentages in the data view are now additionally displayed with bars
  • Breaking Change:
  • Tasks: When executing Powershell scripts via Task, the LOGINventory Powershell (psc.exe) is now called and no longer the Windows Powershell (powershell.exe): It is now no longer necessary to initialize the LOGINventory Powershell provider if LOGINventory data is to be worked with as part of the task. Scripts that still perform the initialization generate an error in the event log, but the execution itself is successful.
  • Apple Mac devices: improved model & operating system detection.
  • Topology:
  • New:
  • When creating a new topology representation, you can select which shape types to include on the drawing sheet before creating it. More info here.

Attention: This setting is only enabled by default for new installations, for update installations you have to check the box yourself (if desired).
  • Topology:
  • Important Significant improvement in reliability and loading speed. Note: To optimize loading speed, a feature is used that is only supported from SQL Server 2016 onwards, which is why we now recommend at least SQL Server 2016. Older versions are still supported, but do not benefit as much from the speed optimization.
  • Important Improved calculation of connections when both CDP and LLDP data are available.
