Free IT asset management software, with every feature
Census is free for up to 50 assets, with no time limit, no feature limits and no credit card. Install it on your own Windows or Linux server and inventory every device on your network in minutes.
What the free edition includes
The free edition is the full product. The only limit is the number of active assets.
Discovery & inventory
Agentless scans over WinRM, SSH and SNMP, plus an agent for laptops. Hardware, software, users, warranty and security status for every device.
Vulnerabilities
Missing Windows updates, vulnerable Linux packages and outdated apps, with actively exploited flaws first and the update that fixes each one.
Compliance
About 470 hardening checks based on DISA STIGs, Microsoft baselines and NIST mSCP, with a score for every computer.
Patch management
Windows updates, winget applications and Linux packages, approved and installed on your schedule.
Deployment
Push installers and scripts to your computers, now or on a schedule, with the output from each one.
Help desk
Tickets linked to assets and users, a self-service portal, email to ticket and SLAs. One technician is included free.
Network map
Switches, routers and firewalls drawn from LLDP and CDP, with the switch port of every computer.
Reports & alerts
More than 100 ready-made reports with CSV and PDF export, a report builder, and email alerts.
Free SSL certificates
Let's Encrypt certificates installed and renewed automatically on your first server, free.
Small networks, labs and evaluations
- Small offices with up to 50 computers, servers, printers and network devices.
- Home labs and test networks.
- Larger teams trying Census on one site or department before buying.
Only active assets count. Archive a retired device and its slot is free again. Logins, agents, users and software titles never count.
When you grow past 50
Buy a perpetual license at $1 per asset, once (500-asset minimum, then blocks of 50). The first year of updates is included, then renewing is optional at $50 a year. Paste the key into the same server: nothing to reinstall, nothing lost.
