how many target can we scan?

Hi, would you please clarify me about how Burp enterprise scans vs. Acunetix?! in summary, Acunetix is target base and you should by a license based on the targets that you need. for instance, if you have 100 subdomains you should buy a license for 100 targets, but all the targets can start to scan simultaneously! As far as I understand, Burp is agent base. I mean you should buy a number of agents that you want to launch the concurrent scans. for previous example, it does not matter 100 or 1000 targets you want to scan, but if you want to scan 5 concurrent scans, you should buy a 5 agent license. lets speak about Enterprise only. Am i right?

Ammy, that's correct. The number of concurrent scans you can run is dependant on the number of Agents. - https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/enterprise/reference/agents Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
