View License Use

In Nessus Essentials, a Nessus Expert trials, or a Nessus Professional trial, you can check how many hosts you have scanned out of your license limit.

To view your license use:

  1. In the top navigation bar, click Settings.

    The About page appears.

  2. Click the License Utilization tab.

    Nessus shows hosts that currently count against your license limit and the following information:

    ColumnDescription
    IPThe IP address of the host.
    NameThe hostname of the host, if available.
    First ScannedThe date Nessus first scanned the host for vulnerabilities, which is the date the host started counting towards your license.
    Last Scanned

    The number of days ago Nessus last scanned the host for vulnerabilities. If Nessus does not scan the host for 90 days, the host stops counting towards the license limit.
