Installation

Windows

Install by clicking through the installer.

Activation process:

1. Add the following content to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.

127.0.0.1  erp.acunetix.com
127.0.0.1  erp.acunetix.com.
::1  erp.acunetix.com
::1  erp.acunetix.com.

192.178.49.174  telemetry.invicti.com
192.178.49.174  telemetry.invicti.com.

2607:f8b0:402a:80a::200e  telemetry.invicti.com.

3. Use the wvsc.exe file from the folder to overwrite the file with the same name under C:\Program Files (x86)\Acunetix\24.4.240514098\.

4. Delete all files under C:\ProgramData\Acunetix\shared\license\.

5. Move license_info.json and wa_data.dat from the folder into C:\ProgramData\Acunetix\shared\license, replacing the files with the same names. Select both files and set their permissions to read-only.

Restart the computer, then start AWVS to complete the process.

127.0.0.1 erp.acunetix.com
127.0.0.1 erp.acunetix.com.

2. Run the shell script to install.

sudo bash acunetix_xxxxx.sh

3. After installation, stop the service with the following command:

sudo systemctl stop acunetix

4. Replace the wvsc file.

sudo cp wvsc /home/acunetix/.acunetix/v_240514098/scanner/wvsc

sudo chown acunetix:acunetix /home/acunetix/.acunetix/v_240514098/scanner/wvsc

sudo chmod +x /home/acunetix/.acunetix/v_240514098/scanner/wvsc

5. Add the license files.

Be careful when copying and pasting; a mistake may damage the entire operating system.

sudo cp license_info.json /home/acunetix/.acunetix/data/license/
sudo cp wa_data.dat /home/acunetix/.acunetix/data/license/
sudo chown acunetix:acunetix /home/acunetix/.acunetix/data/license/license_info.json

sudo chattr +i /home/acunetix/.acunetix/data/license/license_info.json
sudo chattr +i /home/acunetix/.acunetix/data/license/wa_data.dat

6. Restart Acunetix.

sudo systemctl start acunetix

7. Log in to the application again and it should be ready to use.
