TNI 3.1.6 and the announcement of new products!
Greetings!
Long time no see! From the side it might even seem that we lounged for the past 4 months. But of course not, in fact, everything was much more interesting. We paid a huge amount of time to optimize and improve the stability of Total Network Inventory. During these 4 months, we have released seven builds, and as you may have noticed, the latest version is already 3.1.6.
Let’s see what changes we’ve made during this time:
- NewChange log: ability to choose the history depth and select specific objects for log building (major speed-up).
- NewSoftware accounting: ability to enter custom license keys instead of automatically scanned keys.
- NewAbility to attach files to feedbacks sent from within the program (via open file dialog, drag-n-drop files from Explorer, drag-n-drop assets from network tree, attachment of special files: program settings and software database).
- NewSupport for fractional prices (custom fields, licenses, etc.) with up to 4 decimal digits.
- NewAbility to unassign users from assets in Edit – Users.

In addition, soon we are planning to reveal two other very interesting projects we’ve been working on.
The first one is well known – Total Network Monitor. The development of this program was suspended in 2010, but we finally decided to bring it back to life.
The second project has been in development for a long time and this is something new! It will be a surprise aimed to make your work easier and more enjoyable.
Soon we will fill you with more details and start the public beta testing of both these tools.
Hope you enjoy these news, stay tuned!
Thanks for bringing back TNM….
This is great news, any update on when the Total Network Monitor will enter beta?
TNM will be released for public beta testing at the end of July. This is the final date.
Thank you Alex!!
We are waiting for TNM eagerly.
Thanks for your great job.
Can we put a custom background image on the map view?
Currently it’s not possible. But we will consider adding such option in the future.
