Unless you manually disable the SERIALNUMBER scan item, Lansweeper scans the Windows computers in your network for software license keys. To reduce network traffic during scanning, only a limited number of keys are scanned by default and most scanning methods only scan keys once every 40 days. However, you can customize which keys are scanned and adjust the item interval of the SERIALNUMBER scan item. On-demand scans of license keys can also be performed by using one of the Rescan buttons found on asset pages and in asset overviews. The Rescan buttons ignore item intervals and immediately rescan all of a Windows computer's data.
In the Network ports window, disable monitoring for each port. Clear the Monitor all ports for the applications from the list recommended by Kaspersky checkbox. Click Save and restart the computer. Monitoring for all network ports will be disabled. One thing you can do purely as a testing mechanic is to disable the firewall rules for 'Windows Remote Management' (there's two of them: port 5985 and port 80). If you do this, then keep an eye on the event log and see if that stops the licensing events from generating. Just don't forget to re-enable the firewall rule once you're done.

Lansweeper uses two methods to retrieve software license keys:
Disable Windows Service Gpo
- It searches the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry locations listed in the Lansweeper web console under SoftwareLicense Key Settings, for each Windows computer. Hundreds of registry locations are built into Lansweeper, though most are disabled by default to reduce network traffic during scanning. To enable scanning of a license key, tick the Enabled checkbox. Built-in registry locations are known by the Lansweeper team to store license keys. If you know of additional registry locations that store licenses, ones that are not built-in, you can add your own as well.- Some Microsoft keys (Office, SQL, Windows) are not included in the list, but scanned by default. Office licenses are pulled from the DigitalProductID and ProductKeys values under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftOffice (64-bit machines).- The Type column indicates whether Lansweeper will read the license key exactly as it is written into the registry (Plain Text) or decrypt it (Adobe and Microsoft keys).- The Var. column is only relevant for Microsoft keys and indicates whether Lansweeper will look for variations of the same registry value. For most keys, including any additional keys you may submit for scanning, this setting is not relevant.- You can have Lansweeper search additional registry locations for license keys by hitting the Add Product Key button. Submit a product name and the registry key and value that store the license key. Keep in mind that only registry locations within HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE can be searched and don't forget to rescan your machines with one of the Rescan buttons, to immediately update license key information.
- For products by software publisher Adobe specifically, it pulls additional license keys from .swidtag files on the Windows computer. Your Adobe software's .swidtag files should be stored in one of the file locations listed below. The first two are used by both Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, while the third and fourth are used by more recent Windows operating systems. Lansweeper automatically scans Adobe .swidtag files for stored license keys.%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Application DataAdobeISO‐19770%ALLUSERSPROFILE%Application Dataregid.1986-12.com.adobe%PROGRAMDATA%regid.1986-12.com.adobeIf you are running the latest Lansweeper release, have recently and successfully rescanned your machines and are unable to find certain license keys, Lansweeper was unable to locate the keys using either of the aforementioned detection methods. Microsoft MAK keys, Microsoft Office 2000 (and lower) keys and some Microsoft Office 2013 (and higher) keys are not stored in the registry for instance, which makes these keys impossible to scan.
