Website allocation

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

If you deactivate a license, you will be prompted to reallocate websites to licenses if there is space left on the remaining licenses.

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.

Moving and backing 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.

How to move or back up Invicti Standard settings

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
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 Netsparker directory to your backup drive, or move it to the new computer where you have the new installation of Invicti Standard.
