K2 KeyServer
Hanover, New Hampshire, USA
What it is
K2 KeyServer combines hardware and software inventories with purchase histories, usage records, and active software license management. Its client discovers hardware attributes and installed software on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers, including virtual machines and thin clients. Hardware tracking spans computers, mobile devices, printers, and networking devices from order through disposal. The platform records operating-system logins, software launches, and defined cloud product usage, and helps compare usage reports with purchased entitlements. It can run entirely on premises, while Sassafras also describes a cloud hosting environment. A single server process supports up to 70,000 Windows, Macintosh, and VDI computers. Data exchange options include spreadsheet imports, REST API, ODBC, JDBC, and JSON exports, with official integrations for TeamDynamix, ServiceNow, and Modo. The REST API is intended for basic queries rather than bulk or heavy-use retrieval. Subscription support includes setup assistance, technical support, and an annual configuration review. Pricing is available on request, and an evaluation license is available through the installer.
