Generate Personalization Code

You need a personalization code from their Qualys subscription to register a new containerized scanner. However, rerunning an existing containerized scanner does not require a new code; the existing personalization code can be reused.

Follow these steps to generate the personalization code:

  1. Log into the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform.
  2. Choose Vulnerability Management.
  3. Go to Scans > Appliances and select New > Containerized Scanner Appliance.

    Scanner Appliances 

  4. Click Continue from 'I have my image'.

    I have my image  confirmation

  5. Specify a name for your virtual scanner.

    Add new scanner

  6. Click Next to walk through the wizard.

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