Can I install Nessus on two different systems with the same email address?

Question

I have installed Nessus on one system and used the activation code that was emailed to me to register it, but I totally forgot the administrator password. I've already tried to use a forgotten username and password from the Nessus website, but they didn't send any mail reset. Right now I want to install another system and I like to use the same email address. Will I get a code?

I am using VMware.

You can reset the nessus admin's password through by following command:

On Windows:

C:\Program Files\Tenable\Nessus\nessus-chpasswd.exe <username>

Or on Linux:

/opt/nessus/sbin/nessus-chpasswd <username>
