LANDesk Inventory Manager

LANDesk Inventory Manager is a version of LANDesk Management Suite 9 that contains only these inventory-related features:

• Inventory scanning and inventory-related console features
• Custom data forms
• Software license monitoring
• Unmanaged device discovery
• Reports for the above features

The Inventory Manager installation on a core server contains all Management Suite 9 components, but when you activate a core server with an account that is licensed for Inventory Manager, the non-Inventory Manager features aren't applicable or visible in the Management Suite and Web consoles.

If you're using Inventory Manager, refer to the sections that correspond to the list of features above. Typically, you can recognize the information that doesn't apply in each chapter because those sections refer to Management Suite features like software distribution and remote control that aren't part of Inventory Manager.
