LICENSEWARE Now Connects to CrowdStrike, Defender, SentinelOne, Jamf Pro and Fleet
Most SAM teams already run tools that see every device in the estate. A security agent sits on every endpoint, Jamf manages the Macs, Fleet keeps track of the hosts it manages. Until now, getting that inventory into LICENSEWARE meant exporting it from each console on a schedule somebody had to remember, then uploading the file.
As of the October 9 to 10 release, that step is gone for five more of them. LICENSEWARE now connects directly to CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, SentinelOne, Jamf Pro and Fleet. Each one syncs its devices and their installed software on a schedule, with no export to run, and feeds the apps that use that data. They join Lansweeper Cloud, ManageEngine Endpoint Central, Microsoft Graph, NinjaOne and Proactivanet, for ten API integrations in all.
The five new integrations
| Integration | What it pulls | Apps it feeds |
|---|---|---|
| CrowdStrike Falcon | Devices and their installed software from Falcon | SIM, IFMP, ADM, MDM, OJDM, RDM |
| Microsoft Defender for Endpoint | Machines and their software inventory | SIM, IFMP, ADM, MDM, OJDM, RDM |
| SentinelOne | Endpoints and installed applications from the SentinelOne console | SIM, IFMP, ADM, MDM, OJDM, RDM |
| Fleet | Hosts and software inventory from your Fleet server | SIM, IFMP, ADM, MDM, OJDM, RDM |
| Jamf Pro | Mac and mobile devices with their installed applications | SIM, IFMP, ADM, MDM, OJDM |
Security tools as an inventory source
CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and SentinelOne are deployed for coverage: the security team wants an agent on every machine, and it notices quickly when one goes missing. That makes them one of the most complete device lists an organization has, and every device on it is a place where licensed software can be installed. Connected to LICENSEWARE, the devices they already protect and the software found on them arrive in the estate without anyone running a report.
All three feed the same six apps. Software Inventory Manager (SIM) brings their software together with every other source in one inventory, and Infrastructure Mapper (IFMP) places the devices in the infrastructure around them. The deployment managers then read the installs that matter to each vendor: Adobe (ADM), Microsoft (MDM), Oracle Java (OJDM) and Red Hat (RDM).
Macs, mobile devices and managed hosts
Macs are often the gap in an inventory built around Windows tooling, and they are where much of the Adobe and Java estate lives. Jamf Pro brings in Mac and mobile devices with their installed applications, and feeds SIM, IFMP, ADM, MDM and OJDM. It does not feed the Red Hat Deployment Manager, because the devices Jamf manages do not run Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Fleet covers the hosts enrolled in your Fleet server, with the software inventory it already collects for them, and feeds all six apps, Red Hat Deployment Manager included.
Every data source in one place
The same release adds a Data Sources view to the app. It lists all 37 sources LICENSEWARE takes, 10 by API and 27 by file upload, and every connection you have made, each with its runs and their history.
- Earlier file uploads now appear as runs on their data source, so nothing you sent before goes missing, and a run that reset a source says so.
- ServiceNow exports arrive as one data source, and the twelve Oracle upload types are now three sources.
- Reports and Assets tables show each data source by name instead of an internal ID.
The full list of sources, with the apps each one feeds, is on our data sources page, and the release notes are on the releases page.
Getting started
LICENSEWARE runs as SaaS, so the new integrations are already in your instance, with nothing to install or upgrade. Open the Data Sources view to see what is connected today and add the tools you run. If you are not a LICENSEWARE customer yet, or you would like to see your own estate come in from the tools you already have, book a call with our team.
