First, you need to buy a subscription from our Pricing page. Then, an account is automatically created. You get an activation link via email to access your new account.

Question 5

Can I have a free trial of the platform?

Accepted Answer

We do not provide free trials. However, we offer near unlimited free scans to each visitor every day. This will allow you to test the Light version of the scanners. If you want to try the full capabilities of the platform, you can buy one of the packages, try the tools and if you are not happy with our platform, you can ask for a full refund within 10 days since your first payment.

Question 6

What if I forget to cancel the license before the renewal?

Accepted Answer

We do not provide refunds for renewals, but you can cancel your subscription at any time from your "My Account" page and you will still benefit from the full features of the platform until the end of the billing cycle. After your plan expires, yo will still have access to your past results but you will not be able to run new scans.

Question 7

Do I need an account for the free tools?

No, you don't need an account for the Light/Free version of the tools (at least not yet). Just go to the tool page and start scanning your systems for vulnerabilities. You have several free scans every day (renewed every 24 hours).

Question 8

Is the maximum number of targets per month or per year?

Accepted Answer

The maximum number of targets is per overall plan, you can have up to 5/50/500 targets at any given time (depending on your plan), but you can always delete old/unused targets to make space for new ones.
