These steps build on each other. The first roaming license remains useful for ad hoc scanning as you add staging automation and Enterprise Teams.

Roaming Pro license
Roaming penetration testing
Put one roaming NewScan install on the laptop you take to each engagement. It stays valuable in every later scenario because it can connect to any authorized environment for the ad hoc scan that automation does not cover.
Start here, then keep this license as the rest of the program grows.

Release scanning in staging
Keep the roaming laptop for ad hoc work, then add one licensed NewScan install for each product staging environment. Run those staging scanners before every release.
One roaming license + one license per product staging environment.

Enterprise Teams
Every scanner connected
Add Enterprise Teams when you need one service to organize results, preserve scan history, and run external scans from the cloud. The roaming laptop connects to Teams too, alongside every staging scanner.
Ad hoc scans from the roaming license feed the same shared program as automated and cloud scans.

The roaming, staging, and cloud scanners all connect to Enterprise Teams.
Keep the roaming scanner. Add the fixed ones.
The first Pro license remains on the roaming laptop for ad hoc scans. Dedicated staging licenses add repeatable release gates. Enterprise Teams connects both kinds of scanner to the shared system of record.
Pro licenses = 1 roaming license + product staging environments
Enterprise Teams connects the roaming, staging, and cloud scanners.
| OPERATING MODEL | RECOMMENDATION | WHY |
|---|---|---|
| Ad hoc engagements only | 1 roaming Pro | The laptop moves between authorized environments. |
| Three products scanned in staging | 1 roaming + 3 staging | Keep ad hoc coverage and add three automated release gates. |
| Same scanners, shared history, cloud scans | 4 Pro + Teams | Every scanner, including the roaming laptop, connects to Teams. |
The roaming license never becomes redundant.
Keep it ready for ad hoc scanning, add dedicated licenses for automated staging gates, and connect every scanner to Enterprise Teams when you need shared history, organization-wide visibility, and external cloud scanning.
NewScan's local in-band scanner is free on unlimited machines. A NewScan Pro license activates one install for licensed capabilities, including out-of-band detection; the roaming Pro install can connect to Enterprise Teams and submit its ad hoc scan results.
