description: 'Likewise Software was a Bellevue, Washington enterprise software company building storage, identity and security
  products that bridged Linux, Unix and Mac systems into Microsoft Active Directory environments. Its OEM line, Likewise Storage
  Services, supplied SMB/CIFS multi-protocol file access to network storage vendors including HP StorageWorks, Riverbed, EMC
  Data Domain and NetApp, while Likewise Data Analytics and Governance covered auditing, reporting and compliance (HIPAA,
  PCI DSS, SOX, FISMA) over unstructured data. Its Likewise Enterprise and Likewise Open Active Directory integration products
  moved to BeyondTrust. Backed by Trinity Ventures, the company was acquired and no longer operates: there is no live website,
  developer portal, documentation or public API, and the likewise.com domain now redirects to an unrelated owner.'

  not_applicable_reason: Company is defunct; no live host, documentation, registry package or specification exists to search,
    generate or derive from. Domain-security probing was deliberately skipped because likewise.com is now owned by an unrelated
    party and its posture would not describe this company.
