Nessus 2.2.8 is included in a product I use. I just realized that it only contains the GPL plugins, which makes since I guess. So I registered for the registered feed, got my code, and contacted the provider about getting access to the box to register the scanner and change the update method, but they told me I could not register the scanner because it came with a product and was not directly downloaded/installed by me from www.nessus.org. That seemed a little odd, so I asked them if there was some difference between what they ship and what I would download and they said no. I thought they might just be giving me the run around, so I looked at the licensing FAQ and it looks like they are right. Is this correct? If there is no difference between the nessus 2.2.8 in the product we bought and the one I would download from nessus.org then why can't I register it? Doesn't it make since, from a $$$ perspective, to let people register their scanners, even if it is included in a product they purchased, since some may signup for the subscription feed? Assuming they are correct, What if I uninstall the nessus they shipped and install one I download from the web site. Can I register my scanner then?
