Hardware Lifecycle
Lifecycle review for Macs, with explicit model-age and macOS Tahoe readiness checks.
Hardware Lifecycle scans Jamf computer records, classifies returned Mac models against the local vintage and obsolete model sets shipped in the app, and marks whether the model identifier is currently treated as ready for macOS Tahoe.

What it shows
- Returned Jamf computers with name, serial number, model, model identifier, and current OS version
- Lifecycle status grouped as active, vintage, or obsolete
- macOS Tahoe readiness based on the model identifier rules currently built into the app
- CSV export for the scanned dataset
How it works
The scan first fetches the Jamf computer list, then retrieves per-device hardware detail in batches so the app can classify each returned model. The result is an operational inventory review, not a live device-side hardware probe.
Why this can take time on large tenants
Hardware Lifecycle does per-device detail reads. That makes the result more useful, but it is still heavier than a summary-count screen on large environments.

Coverage notes
- The current readiness check is for macOS Tahoe, not an arbitrary target OS selector.
- Lifecycle classification comes from the model identifier and the local Apple vintage and obsolete reference data shipped in the app.
- This view reflects current Jamf inventory data. It does not model procurement age, lease data, or off-platform asset systems.
- Unknown or incomplete Jamf hardware fields limit how precisely a device can be classified.
