Downloading a scan file

You may need a scan file, which is a file of a scan that has been imported to Black Duck, similar to a dry run file. For example, you may need to provide Customer Support with the scan file if you are experiencing scanning issues, as this file may help them investigate the issue.

Note: This feature is not available if you initially scanned using Black Duck version 5.x or earlier. If the option does not appear, delete the code location and re-scan.
