Info

If you do not register your copy of Nessus, you will not receive any new plugins and will be unable to start the Nessus server. Note: The Activation Code is not case sensitive. If your Nessus server is on a network that uses a proxy to communicate with the Internet, click on “Optional Proxy Settings” to enter the relevant information. Proxy settings can be added at any time after the installation has completed. Copyright © 2002-2012 Tenable Network Security, Inc. 36
Once the Activation Code and optional proxy setting configuration has been completed, click “Next” to register your scanner: After registration, Nessus must download the plugins from Tenable. This process may take several minutes as it transfers a considerable amount of data to the machine, verifies file integrity, and compiles them into an internal database: Copyright © 2002-2012 Tenable Network Security, Inc. 37
