18.2 Computer Management

The Computer Management feature allows administrators to manage client-module-equipped computers across entire network segments and enables users to check license usage details—such as the number of licenses currently in use and whether usage exceeds the licensed scope.

Additionally, in environments with large numbers of computers, hardware maintenance (e.g., replacing hard drives or network cards) may require reassigning client IDs to ensure devices are still recognized as the original clients after hardware changes. This reassignment can also be performed within the Computer Management interface.

18.2.1 Overview of the Computer Management Window

To access the Computer Management window, navigate to Tools > Client Management > Computer Management. The interface consists of a query bar, a computer authorization information list, and a computer identification information list.

The Computer Authorization Information List includes the following details:

Field Name	Description
	This icon indicates the computer is within the licensed scope and is authorized. Computers without this icon exceed the license limit. Check the "Authorization Information" to view purchased licenses and current usage counts.
Name	The display name of the client computer in the console.
ID	The unique ID assigned to the client by the server.
Network Address	The IP address used by the client.
MAC Address	The MAC address and IP address of the client.
Group	The computer group to which the client belongs.
Status	The current operational status of the client (e.g., Online, Offline).
Conflict	Indicates whether the client has a conflict. Blank means no conflict; "Yes" indicates a conflict exists.
Last Seen	The last time the client was active.
Installation Time	The installation time of the client.
Version	The version information of the client.
Offline Days	The number of days the client has been offline.

Click any record in the Computer Authorization Information List to view its associated identification details in the Computer Identification Information List at the bottom of the Computer Management window.

The Computer Identification Information List includes the following fields:

Field Name	Description
	A red checkmark on this icon indicates that the client is currently using this identification record.
Operating System	The operating system information of the client.
Hard Disk ID	The hard disk ID information of the client.
MAC Address	The MAC address of the client.
Computer Name	The hostname of the client computer.
First Seen Time	The time when the client first connected to the server.

Administrators can quickly locate specific computer information using the following search criteria:

In the Computer Authorization Information panel, several auxiliary function buttons are provided with the following descriptions:

Operation	Description
	Export the computer authorization list to an HTML, XLS, or CSV file.
	Print the computer authorization information list.
	Preview the computer authorization information list before printing.
	Delete: Administrators can remove unwanted clients to free up licenses. Deletion uninstalls the client and reduces license count.
	Uninstall: Uninstalls the client without reducing license count.
	Encryption Management: Enable or revoke encryption authorization for selected clients.
	Sensitive Information Identification Management: Enable or revoke sensitive data identification authorization for selected clients.
	Secure Desktop Management: Enable or revoke secure desktop authorization for selected clients.

After performing delete or uninstall actions, administrators must click the 【Confirm】 button to apply the changes. Otherwise, the operations will not take effect. This measure is designed to prevent accidental modifications.

18.2.2 Reassigning a Client ID

Reassigning a client ID is typically required in two scenarios:

• Resolving conflicts: If two enterprise computers swap hard drives and later connect simultaneously, they may be recognized as the same client. The console will display a conflict warning, and the client entry in the Computer Authorization Information list will appear in red. Clicking the entry will reveal two or more identification records.
• Hardware replacement: If a computer's hard drive or network card is replaced due to damage, the device may be detected as a new client. The newly identified client must be reassigned to the original client ID.

Steps:

• In the Computer Authorization Information list, select the client requiring reassignment and click its identification record.
• Click the button in the upper-right corner of the list to open the Computer Identification Settings. Two options are available:
  • Assign a new client to the identification record: Reassign a new ID to the identification record, with an optional custom name. The reassigned client will appear in the "Ungrouped" section of the console's computer tree.
  • Move the identification record to an existing client: Manually enter an existing client ID or use the Select button to choose an existing client. For example, if assigning record B to existing client A, client A's name in the console will automatically update to match record B's name.

18.2.3 Viewing Client Identification Tracking Logs

Due to factors such as operating system updates, hard drive replacements, or network card changes, a client's identification information may be altered. The Client Identification Tracking Log allows administrators to review historical changes to client identification records.

Steps:

• In the Computer Authorization Information list, select the client for which you want to view the identification tracking log, and click its identification record.
• Click the button in the upper-right corner of the list to query the Client Identification Tracking Log. The log includes the following information:

If identification information changes, corresponding log entries will be generated, and differences between previous and updated values will be highlighted in red.
