nessus license

Nessus 2.2.8 is included in a product I use. I just realized that it
only contains the GPL plugins, which makes since I guess. So I
registered for the registered feed, got my code, and contacted the
provider about getting access to the box to register the scanner and
change the update method, but they told me I could not register the
scanner because it came with a product and was not directly
downloaded/installed by me from www.nessus.org. That seemed a little
odd, so I asked them if there was some difference between what they
ship and what I would download and they said no. I thought they might
just be giving me the run around, so I looked at the licensing FAQ and
it looks like they are right. Is this correct? If there is no
difference between the nessus 2.2.8 in the product we bought and the
one I would download from nessus.org then why can't I register it?
Doesn't it make since, from a $$$ perspective, to let people register
their scanners, even if it is included in a product they purchased,
since some may signup for the subscription feed? Assuming they are
correct, What if I uninstall the nessus they shipped and install one I
download from the web site. Can I register my scanner then?
