An asset's warranty info is automatically rescanned every 4 months or (if a previous scan failed) every 2 days.

When Lansweeper first scans an asset, it tries to retrieve the asset's warranty details from the manufacturer's website. Scanned warranty information is listed in the Summary tab of individual asset pages and in built-in warranty reports within the Reports menu of the web console. It does this by first retrieving the manufacturer, model, serial and (in some cases) system SKU from the assets themselves and then submitting this information on the manufacturer's website.

Specifically, it tries to retrieve warranty details like purchase date, warranty expiration date, ship date, purchase country and purchased warranty products. Lansweeper performs an automated warranty check and warranty scanning for assets whose manufacturer is Dell, Fujitsu, HP, IBM, Lenovo or Toshiba/Dynabook. Due to this IBM warranty retrieval is currently non-functional while we search for a solution. The current implementation of IBM warranty scanning relies on the IBM Support Portal which was retired in late June 2021.
