Global Network Inventory
by Magneto Software
Overview
Global Network Inventory is a software program developed by Magneto Software. The most common release is 4.01.0005, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 5 files and is usually about 87.39 MB (91,638,441 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 7 (SP1). While about 67% of users of Global Network Inventory come from the United States, it is also popular in Canada and Saudi Arabia.
