Author: [Your Name/Affiliation] Date: [Current Date] Abstract Lansweeper is a prominent agentless IT asset discovery and inventory management platform. To attract small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and individual IT administrators, Lansweeper offers a free tier known as the Starter License . This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the Starter License’s technical specifications, functional limitations, performance benchmarks, and ideal use cases. Using a combination of vendor documentation, user community feedback, and feature comparison, we conclude that while the Starter License is a powerful tool for small environments and proof-of-concept deployments, it lacks the scalability, reporting depth, and compliance features required for mid-to-large enterprises.
