SOFTWARE AND LICENSING
Download or Obtain the Software
To install the PVS, obtain the correct version for your desired operating system from the
Tenable Support Portal. Confirm the integrity of the installation package by comparing the
download MD5 checksum with the one listed in the product release notes.
It is important to ensure that the correct build for your operating environment is
downloaded since they are not binary compatible with each other.
Obtain a Demo or Commercial Key
To obtain a 30 day demo key for the PVS, contact sales@tenable.com. Commercial keys and
demo keys are handled the same way by the PVS, except that a demo key will expire.
During a demo evaluation of the PVS, all of the features are available. The PVS uses two
different licensing modes:
> Host-Based – A separate license is needed for each host where a PVS is deployed.
> Network-Based – This licensing method is based on the network that the PVS will
monitor. Choose from either Class C (up to 255 contiguous hosts) or Class B (up to
65,535 contiguous hosts) options based on the size of the monitored network.
These licenses cannot cross class boundaries. For example, specifying 128 hosts
from 10.32.4.0/24 and 128 hosts from 10.32.5.0/24 is not permitted.
As many PVS hosts as required can be deployed per licensed subnet and some or the
entire targeted network can be monitored at any point. If an IP range greater than the
license range is specified in the PVS configuration, it will be truncated to the license
range. If a narrower range than the licensed range is specified, the narrower range will
be used. For example, a university with a license of 10.32.0.0/16 may deploy a PVS with
that license with a network range of 10.32.66.0/24. Specifying a monitored range of
10.32.0.0/8 would not increase the IP base from the licensed base of 10.32.0.0/16.
Note that if this is an upgrade, a new license must be requested from Tenable
Support. Licenses acquired prior to PVS 3.6 are not compatible with newer
versions of the software.
Move the Key and Software to the Server
The key file location and name will be required during the installation process. You may wish
to make a note of this before beginning the installation such as:
/tmp/tenable-15-47.key
