I am consultant and I use Nessus as one of my tools for consulting, am I required to subscribe to the ProfessionalFeed to use the latest updates for Nessus?
A. Yes. If you are a consultant and are using Nessus to audit the security of third party clients, you must subscribe to the ProfessionalFeed to use it commercially with the latest updates. A HomeFeed cannot be used for commercial consulting. A very common scenario for Tenable is to license several ProfessionalFeeds to a service provider who operates an equivalent number of Nessus scanners to check for vulnerabilities on their customers’ systems and networks. The ProfessionalFeed license is tied to the Nessus scanner. If the Nessus scanner is mobile (such as on a laptop), then the license is mobile. We do not tie it to an IP address. There is no limitation to the amount of scans completed or IPs scanned. However, the Tenable Plugins are licensed only for use with Registered Nessus scanners obtained directly from www.nessus.org or www.tenablesecurity.com. For large scanning operations that require multiple ProfessionalFeeds, please inquire about volume purchases with one of our appropri
