Allocate websites to licenses

When you try to start a scan, you are prompted with the Website Checker dialog which checks the accessibility of the websites you want to scan. After you have decided which hosts to be allocated, the selected hosts are allocated on your available licenses. If you don't have enough website allocation slots available on your licenses, the allocation process fails. After you have allocated a website to a license, when you try to scan that website, you are not prompted with the allocation dialog again.

Move and back up Invicti Standard settings

When moving the Invicti Standard web application security scanner from one computer to another, you need to move both the license key and the settings.

  1. First, locate the scanner's settings, which are stored in a directory called 'Netsparker', located in your user profile's Documents directory: C:\Users[user]\Documents'Netsparker
  2. This directory contains several subdirectories, for example:
    • The Policies subdirectory is where Scan Policies are stored
    • The Profiles subdirectory is where Scan Profiles are stored
    • The Scans subdirectory is where Scans are stored
  3. To backup or move the settings of your Invicti Standard simply copy the Netsparker directory to your backup drive, or move it to the new computer where you have the new installation of Invicti Standard.
