I've recently been in touch with Qualys. What you state is correct for the contractor's license. The actual scan engine is located at Qualys. Even if you are conducting testing from an internal network. The appliance simply serves as a proxy for the Qualys remote engine.

Has anyone used this appliance? If so could you give me your feedback on the product?
From what I have seen of it in a couple of days, it seems to initiate a
scan(for s/w vulnerabilities) from the intranet of a network, but sends the data to the internet/qualys server (and accessed via qualys' website), which imo while have the regulators and auditors screaming. I would appreciate if anyone could confirm/correct that.
