The software should run fine on any Windows editions prior to Microsoft Windows Vista. The software will display a configurable menu after start which can be used to set the parameters of the search and define the data that should be retrieved.

It is possible to set a subnet range, for example from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.200. Among the data that can be retrieved are the domain, cpu speed, role, gateway, office version, ram, operating system, service packs, installed software, bios, disk information, cpu type and Windows registration key.

Not everything has to be selected though: It is up to the user to select the search parameters. Results will be automatically saved in a Microsoft Excel document. A click on Start will initiate the scan of the subnet.

Subnet Scan will display a progress report in its interface. The Excel document will be opened as well as soon as the first successful scan has finished.

The 600 Kilobyte executable can be launched from any location on the computer and provides a clean interface immediately.

It can automatically detect the Local IP Range, External IP Addresses and IP Range from a Host Name. Those information are automatically inserted into the scanning parameters. A scan resolves host names, pings the servers, detects MAC addresses, hidden shared folders and write accessible shares.

Some of the options are disabled by default and have to be enabled in the program’s options. This is for example the case for MAC address detection and discovery of Open Ports. The ports have to be entered in a comma separated list, by default only port 80 is checked.

The network scanner has been designed to scan local and remote networks. Basically any IP range can be entered and Softperfect Network Scanner will scan it.

The network scanner supports additional features that make it interesting. I can launch third party applications that can be integrated into the software. It does support Wake-On-Lan and Remote Shutdown, can mount and explore network resources and retrieve logged in users.
