thanks Alex...  i'm aware of the self-assessment questionnaire. i had to 
deal with it a few times. i just ratter not deal with it too much 
anymore. it's mostly a bureaucratic process to which i developed a 
strong allergy. anything that can ease the symptoms is more attractive.
i just don't like when another useful open source tool goes proprietary 
and everybody - big fat corporations and single users alike - are thrown 
in the same $1200 dollar/year bucket.

anyway...  there is nothing i can about this now.

        <br>
the thing is the email came with the 'license' and the following
explanation on how to use it:<br>
        <pre wrap="">To activate your account, open the program 'Nessus Server Manager'
located under <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>Applications/Nessus<span
 class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i> and enter your activation
code in the program.
  </pre>
after a while of trying to figure out how/where to "enter" the code "in
the program" - there is no prompt or anything, and no menu option - i
just found the bin under Library and did the command line activation.
passed that it took a while to get the new plugins. but still the
plugins from the demo video are not there. <br>
there are some PCI audit pluggins i'd like to use. excuse me, test...&nbsp;
it's not 'over a network'...&nbsp; cause you know, now that is, and i quote,
"strictly prohibited". like it's a felony or something to try to figure
out if your own machine is pci complient...<br>
        <br>
does anybody know where can i get those? i'd appreciate very much. <br>
        <br>
thanks....<br>
