What Port Scanner ActiveX Control is

Port Scanner ActiveX Control is paid Windows software for developers adding network port scanning to desktop applications. It can scan TCP, UDP, or both protocols simultaneously and handle multiple hosts at once. Developers can choose range-of-ports, authorized-ports, or hostile-ports scan modes. A built-in port database is available through APIs, and the control supports IPv4 and IPv6. It works from Windows-based application development environments, including Visual Studio. Documentation, sample code, and working demonstration programs are supplied. The product requires Windows XP or newer and is offered in both 32-bit and 64-bit builds. Its scope is network scanning with service detection and API access; listed capabilities do not include operating-system detection or scheduled scans. The One Development Workstation, Royalty-Free Distribution plan costs $300, paid once and covers one development workstation with royalty-free distribution. Questions can be sent through the maker’s contact form.
