SIW is a Windows system information tool for examining computer hardware, software, network and system details. It covers software licenses, devices, processes, services, network connections and open ports. Reports can be generated in HTML, JSON, CSV, TXT, XML or ODBC formats, then saved or printed. Command-line options can choose report modules, create, compress or append reports, and run report creation silently. Reports can also be sent through SMTP, uploaded using FTP, FTPS or HTTP POST, or saved to a database through ODBC. The Technician’s Version runs without installation from a USB flash drive, network drive or domain login script. Customizations include logos, tailored reports and builds limited to command-line use or without selected modules; these cost $50 extra. SIW lists a free viewer and a 14-day trial, which works only on specified 64-bit Windows versions and replaces some values with ***TRIAL***. Paid options range from a 23.99 USD one-time Technician’s Version without updates or support to paid update subscriptions and lifetime-update licenses. The maker identifies administrators, technicians and IT tech support as users.
