Versions:
PDQ Inventory 19.7.6.0, published by PDQ.com, is a systems-management tool designed for Windows-only networks that need continuous visibility into on-prem hardware, software, and configuration data. The application performs scheduled or on-demand scans of domain-joined or workgroup machines, automatically grouping assets into dynamic collections based on criteria such as OS version, installed applications, memory size, or custom WMI/Registry values. IT administrators then use these collections as precise targets for companion deployment tools, ensuring that patches, scripts, or software packages reach only the intended endpoints. Typical use cases include preparing monthly Windows Update waves, verifying that antivirus signatures are current before a compliance audit, identifying computers with expired certificates, or building an inventory of legacy hardware slated for replacement. Built-in reports surface license counts, disk-space trends, and last-logon timestamps, while PowerShell and SQL access let teams extend the data into CMDB or ticketing systems. Version 19 refines the central-server mode introduced in earlier releases, allowing multiple consoles to share a single backend database without collisions, and adds new filters for Windows 11 and Microsoft 365 Apps. The installer ships in both evaluation and licensed editions; the former supports up to 14 days of unlimited scanning for organizations evaluating the platform. PDQ Inventory belongs to the Network Inventory category and is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always providing the latest build and enabling batch installation alongside other applications.
