What it is
ManageEngine Free Process Manager is a Windows utility for identifying processes that use system resources and closing unwanted ones. Its local view displays running processes and memory use, with search for checking memory used by a particular process. It can also show process-wise memory use on a remote computer and end processes on either a remote or local machine. Remote connection setup requires a server IP, domain, username, and password, as well as configuring WinRM and TrustedHosts. The download page offers version 1.0 as a 5.7 MB EXE with 32-bit main and mirror options. It requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or above. Listed minimum hardware includes a 1 GHz x86 or 1.4 GHz x64 CPU, 512 MB RAM, and 3 MB available disk space before installation; installed use is under 10 MB. The free license is non-exclusive and non-transferable, bars resale and third-party access, use, or support, and is provided in perpetuity. Support queries may be submitted through discussion forums, but technical support is not guaranteed as a right. ManageEngine is Zoho Corp’s enterprise IT management division.
