Website Allocation
Websites are automatically added to your license(s) before starting scans.

How to Allocate Websites to Licenses
When you try to start a scan, you will be prompted with the Website Checker dialog which will check the accessibility of the websites you want to scan. After you have decided which hosts to be allocated, the selected hosts will be allocated on your available licenses. If you don’t have enough website allocation slots available on your licenses, the allocation process will fail. After you have allocated a website to a license, when you try to scan that website, you won’t be prompted with the allocation dialog again.

- 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
- To backup or move the settings of your Invicti Standard simply copy the Invicti directory to your backup drive, or move it to the new computer where you have the new installation of Invicti Standard.
