So any computers, servers, network devices and manually created assets count toward your limit, but monitors without extended display data don't. Assets of the Monitor type that do have extended display data do count toward your limit.Assets of the Monitor type that do not have extended display data do not count toward your limit.There is one exception in regards to monitor assets: So which assets count toward your limit? Most things you see listed when you click the Assets menu at the top of the web console count toward your licensed asset limit. Once you've reached your licensed asset limit, scanning of new and existing assets stops until you delete some assets or upgrade your subscription. With Lansweeper, you can keep track of your monitor's history even while it's unused.Most Lansweeper subscriptions limit the number of assets you can scan. Having two screens per computer, and more in stock is not uncommon.

Most networks have more monitors than computers. This also allows you to keep track of your monitor's history. When you move a monitor and connect it to a different computer, Lansweeper recognizes it and creates a new asset relation on the existing asset page. Once scanned, each monitor also receives a unique identifying key, based on the manufacturer code and serial number. This allows Lansweeper to automatically create an asset relation between the monitor and computer. The information about your monitors is scanned from the registry of the Windows computer they are connected to. Like with most other devices Lansweeper will retrieve the basic information from your monitor, including but not limited to:įor certain brands (Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo), Lansweeper attempts to retrieve warranty information from the manufacturer. Additionally, Lansweeper enriches the data using the device catalog if possible (and enabled). Lansweeper finds this information in the computer's registry.

Because a monitor does not directly connect to your network, Lansweeper adds it as an asset when it scans the connected Windows computer. Lansweeper treats the monitors in your network as separate devices with their own asset page.
