Lansweeper API Integration

This guide explains how to connect Lansweeper Cloud to Licenseware via the Lansweeper API. This integration allows Licenseware to directly ingest and process software and device inventory data from your Lansweeper environment using secure API access.

Integration video guide:

 

Before You Start

Ensure you have:

  • A Lansweeper Cloud instance set up

  • Admin access to your Lansweeper environment

  • Access to the Lansweeper App Token feature for generating credentials

Connection Steps

1. Log into Lansweeper Cloud

2. Navigate to API Access

  • In the left-hand menu, go to Settings > Developer tools.

  • Select API clients and then ADD NEW API CLIENT

3. Create a API Client

  • Select Personal Access Token (PAT)

  • Give the API a recognizable name (e.g. Licenseware Connector).

  • Select Licenseware in the integrations drop down. 

  • Click continue

4. Create token

  • Select the length of type the API token should be active

  • Select which sites should sync data with Licenseware

  • Click Allow

5. Copy token

  • Copy the API Token to your keyboard

5. Connect via Licenseware

  • In Licenseware, navigate to the Integrations section.

  • Choose the Lansweeper Cloud and configure the Application Identity Code by submitting your API key copied from the previous step.

  • Click Save.

6. Initiate Import

  • Tick on the relevant data sync's for the applications you are interested in.

  • Licenseware will establish a connection and begin retrieving your software and asset data via the Lansweeper API.

  • Once complete, data will be available for processing within the relevant apps (e.g. Software Inventory Manager, Java Deployment Manager, etc.).

 

Troubleshooting Tips

  • The processing can take up to 24 hours to complete, allow sufficient to elapse to ensure the initial data sync can occur. 
  • If the sync is occurring you will see a red wheel on the reports in the report section.

  • If the token is invalid or expired, you will need to generate a new one.

  • Make sure the API token has correct permissions assigned.

  • Double-check the Site ID—it must match your current Lansweeper Cloud environment.

  • Ensure firewalls or network policies allow outbound HTTPS connections to Lansweeper’s API endpoint.
