Agent Licensing Information

To see the number of licenses being consumed:

1. Navigate to Main Menu > Settings > Account.
   
   

   

   
   
   

2. Click on the License tab.
   
   

   

   
   
   In the Agent Information area, the number of Registered, Scanned and Outdated agents are displayed.
   
   

   Option	Description
   Agent registered	Shows the number of registration agents.
   Agent scanned	Shows the number of scanned agents.
   Agent outdated	Shows how many assets are running an outdated Agent version, indicating the number of Agents need updating.

Note

An agent is considered as any other scan and therefor licensed as such. An agent that performs a scan will require one (1) license from your license pool. When an asset is also being scanned from an external scanner it also will require a license. If an agent AND a external scanner both scans the same asset, it will require two (2) licenses as it is seen as two (2) different assets.
