RE: Pay per use pentesting tool?

WebInspect, before acquired by HP, required specifying upon installation of
the software/license what networks you would like to scan.

A month ago we purchased their 1-month license (a difficult and lengthy
procedure), and we had open range. We could scan anything.

Isn't Appscan's licensing model against this very thing? You can only
specify upon installation of the software/license what networks you
would like to scan. Unless I am missing a point by their sales
staff...let me know if so.
