NETWatch Network Management
Documents and Support
If you have purchased a NetWatch licence you are entitled to free upgrades and support via email for the lifetime of the major version. To upgrade simply check out the latest version below and download it from the "try it for free" page.
If you have queries, suggestions or problems with NETWatch please email support@sharpeware.com or visit the main support page shown to the left under "related links".
For full function across all types of services you will need to install NetWatch on a Windows 2000 or later system. The system you use must have network access (IP and/or IPX for Netware services) to all services you wish to monitor. The account you use to run NETWatch should have Administrator access to your network.

For Novell Netware network monitoring a Novell Client must be available to NETWatch.

For UNIX network monitoring the systems and account NetWatch uses must have rpc access to the remote systems being monitored (root access is
not required). You may wish to limit rpc access to the particular system via your /etc/rhosts file - please refer to your man pages. NetWatch is tested on linux but designed for other systems such as Solaris and AIX - if you are using other flavours of UNIX and experience problems please
contact Sharpeware.

If you do not intend to monitor Windows services then you can install NETWatch on Windows 9x systems (not Windows 95) and Administrator access is not required.
The current build is
v3.1.10 (you can check your version by looking on the "Settings" page in your Browser or using Explorer to display the properties of nwatch.exe and clicking on the Version tab). If you have a licence for NETWatch you can download and install any minor version updates - simply
download the software from this site:
