Device Discovery - EOL

What

Device Discovery is retired. FileWave deprecated Device Discovery in FileWave 14.9.0 and removed it in FileWave 15.0.

When/Why

Device Discovery was not effective enough for production environments and saw little use. If you need basic network scanning outside FileWave, use a dedicated network scanner such as Angry IP Scanner or another tool approved for your environment.

How

Do not plan new workflows around Device Discovery. For FileWave 15.0 and later, use another network-discovery process and enroll or manage discovered devices through the normal FileWave workflows.
