Archive and unarchive applications
If an application should no longer collect vulnerabilities, but you want to keep it in your organization for historical purposes, the best solution is to archive the application.
Archiving an application maintains the integrity of past application data, such as vulnerabilities and libraries, but the agent no longer reports vulnerabilities to Contrast.
Archived applications also improve your overall portfolio score, as they don't count against the total score.
An administrator can restore an archived application. After you unarchive an application, it is visible in the default Applications list. All vulnerabilities and issues immediately impact the its score.
Archiving an application doesn't free up a license in Contrast. To return a license back to the pool of available licenses is to archive and fully delete the application.
