Bypassing School Wi-Fi and Using Cell Phone Hot Spot: A Concern for IT Administrators

As an IT administrator, you may have encountered a common issue where students are connecting their school devices to cell phone hotspots and bypassing the school's Wi-Fi network. This can be a significant concern as it can lead to unauthorized access and potential security breaches.

Recently, I have been facing a similar issue with my organization's Nitro Pro installations. Over the past month, we have started to experience trouble collecting information about these installations. Specifically, we are struggling to retrieve computer IDs and installation IDs for our Nitro Pro licenses.

After reaching out to Nitro Support, they requested that we provide a list of every computer with Nitro installed. This seems like an unnecessary step as I believe there must be a way to collect this information more efficiently. When I tried to install Nitro Pro on a freshly imaged computer, I received a license error stating that we have reached our maximum installs under our license.

As it turns out, my organization has 120 licenses for Nitro Pro, but according to Spiceworks, only 90 installations are in use. This discrepancy led me to wonder if there is a way to collect information about our Nitro Pro installations more easily than manually going around to every PC and collecting this data.

I would greatly appreciate any help or guidance on developing a report or script that can collect this information using Spiceworks. Has anyone else faced similar issues with Nitro Pro installations, and if so, how did you resolve them?
