What Belarc Advisor does

After scanning your PC, Belarc Advisor generates a detailed local report covering installed software (with license/product keys for many titles), hardware specs, missing Windows security patches, and network configuration. The report is built and displayed entirely in your default browser, from a local file.

Downloading it safely

Download Belarc Advisor only from belarc.com. It is licensed free for personal, non-commercial use — commercial and government use requires a different Belarc product.

This site is an independent resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the vendor. Always download software from the official vendor site linked below.

How to use it

  1. 1Download the installer from belarc.com and run it.
  2. 2Allow it to scan your system — this takes a minute or two depending on how much software is installed.
  3. 3Review the generated report in your browser: hardware, installed software with license keys, missing security updates, and more.
  4. 4Because the report includes license keys and hardware identifiers, treat it as sensitive and avoid uploading it anywhere public.

Privacy considerations

The report is generated and stored locally; it is not automatically uploaded anywhere. Because it lists product keys and detailed hardware/software inventory, don't share the file or paste its contents into forums or support tickets without redacting sensitive fields.

What it's good for

  • Getting a full software/license inventory before reinstalling Windows or retiring a PC.
  • Checking for missing Windows security patches at a glance.
  • Documenting hardware specs for support or warranty purposes.
