Invalid license error

If you receive an invalid license error while attempting to log in as a security manager or lower organizational user, an administrator user must log in and upload a new valid license key. A user with access to the host OS and valid permissions can also check that an up-to-date license exists in /opt/sc/daemons. Obtain a license from Tenable and copy it to the daemons directory as the tns user.
