Generating a Personalization Code

Get a personalization code from your Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform subscription to register every new appliance instance. To get the code, do the following:

1. Log in to the Qualys UI.
2. From the module picker on the left, choose Vulnerability Management or Policy Compliance, depending on your scanning needs.

3. Go to Scans > Appliances and select New > Virtual Scanner Appliance.

   

4. In the Add New Virtual Scanner dialog box, click Continue in the I Have My Image section. Give your virtual Scanner Appliance a name. As per the GCP naming conventions, you can use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens in the scanner name.

5. Click Next to walk through the wizard. Copy the personalization code.

6. Keep this window open and switch to your Google Cloud Portal to launch the appliance. You can check for activation status in the same window after deployment.

   

   • For generating Perscode through API, refer to the Add new virtual scanner API from VM API documentation.
   • You receive an 'Activation Code' in the API response, referred to as 'perscode' in the case of the Scanner Appliance.
