Resetting Activation Codes
After the initial Activation Code is entered during the setup process, subsequent Activation Code changes are performed
through the “Overview” link under “Local”. This can be accessed by clicking the pencil next to the activation code on the
lower right of the UI.
Inputting a new code in the “Update Registration” field of the “Register” button and clicking “Save” will update the
Nessus scanner with the new code (e.g., if upgrading from Nessus Home to commercial Nessus).
If at any time you need to verify a registration code is in use for a given scanner, you can use the --code-
in-use option to the nessuscli fetch program. Note that this option requires administrative privileges
and network connectivity.
Scanners
The Scanners section of the Settings shows the local scanner Nessus version and plugin information and software
updates. This also includes information on remote scanners.
