Target Association

When you purchase a Professional Plan in ZeroThreat, it includes unlimited scans for the purchased number of targets throughout the subscription period. To begin using your plan, you must associate the subscription with the targets you want to scan.

This guide walks you through associating a target with your plan, understanding the cooling logic, and how to manage or deassociate targets if needed.

Prerequisites

Make sure:

  • You’ve purchased a Professional Plan under the correct organization.
  • At least one target slot in the subscription is still unassigned.
  • You have permission/user access to manage subscriptions for the organization.

Step 1: View Active Subscriptions

  1. Go to Organization Settings in ZeroThreat.
  2. Select the relevant organization.

The Active Subscriptions tab will only appear if your organization has Professional Plan active.

Step 2: Associate a Target to the Plan

  1. Click on the Available Targets section to open the subscription drawer.

Once done, the selected target will be linked to your Professional Plan and ready for unlimited scanning.

Cooling Period Explained

After association, each target enters a 30-day cooling period.

  • During cooling period: You can freely reassign the subscription to a different target.
  • After 30 days or once a scan is started (on the associated target): The cooling period ends immediately and the target remains fixed to the subscription for the rest of the billing cycle.

This window is designed to allow for correcting accidental associations.

De-associating a Target

You can de-associate a target from the subscription at any time.

Step 1: Access the Assigned Targets

  1. Go to Organization Settings and select your organization.
  2. Open the Active Subscriptions tab.
  3. Click on Available Targets to see all the bound and unbound targets.

Step 2: Remove the binding

  1. Toggle off the Assign to Subscription Plan button for the target you wish to de-associate.

Behaviour Based on Timing:

  • If within cooling period: The target is immediately de-associated. The slot becomes available for reassignment.
  • If cooling period is over or once a scan is started (on the associated target): The de-association will take effect at the end of the billing cycle. Until then, scans can still run on the associated target.

Conclusion

Binding targets to your subscription is required to enable scanning under your plan. The cooling period gives you time to fix mistakes, and the de-association process is built to protect ongoing scan activity without any interruptions.
