NessusĀ® Essentials (formerly Nessus Home) eliminates the previous restriction on only using Nessus Home for personal, non-commercial use. Nessus Essentials is free to use to scan any environment, but limited to 16 IP addresses per scanner. It is ideal for educators, students, and anyone starting out in cyber security.

I see that @daniruiz self assigned recently...

The linked license page mentions this now:

You must obtain express written consent from Tenable Network Security to redistribute any Tenable Plugins or a copy of Nessus.

Is there some other clause that actually allows movement here? (unless the written portion has been satisfied)
