Software Discovery

Run the scanner. See what you own.

Two small read-only scanners report what every Windows and Linux machine has installed. Vera AI names each title, maps the estate by vendor and license, and holds it against the lines you pay for.

Software Discovery: installed against what you pay for, line by line, with the money a year
How it works

Deploy, scan, see.

Roll the scanner out with the tool you already use. Every machine that reports lands on the map.

01

Issue a token

An owner issues a discovery token. It can only add scans; it cannot read the workspace, and it expires in a year.

YouOne press
02

Deploy the scanners

One for Windows, one for Linux, rolled out through Intune, Group Policy, Configuration Manager, Ansible, cron or SSH.

YouThe line is on screen
03

Machines report

Each machine pushes its installed programs on the schedule you set: every six hours, daily or weekly.

ScanDaily is typical
04

Every title is named

Installs are matched to vendor, product and license. Anything new is named once and stays named.

Held against your contracts

Paid against installed for every line, with the money a year, and the audit risks ranked.

The reads

Where the money and the risk are.

Every finding is tied to the machines it came from.

The map

Map

Every product as a tile, by vendor or category, sized by machines or spend at list, colored by license position.

Paid and unused

Saving

Seats you pay for that no machine runs, and the next renewal with seats to cut.

Paid with no contract

Check

Commercial software installed with nothing on file to cover it.

Audit risk

Risk

Oracle Java, Oracle Database on VMware, SQL Server Enterprise cores and more, each with the fix to try.

Rationalize

Saving

One tool per job, paid seats on machines nobody has signed in to, and versions past end of support.

Ask about the estate

Vera

Where a product runs, the next renewal cut, the largest risk, answered from your machines.

Safe to run

Read only, by design.

What the scanners do and never do.

Changes nothing

Rule

The scanners only read, and need no administrator rights.

Never reads your data

Rule

No file contents, user names, email or IP addresses. Machine IDs and serials are sent only as hashes.

Push only tokens

Rule

Shown once, stored as a hash, expire in a year, and every push is in the audit log.
