+# ActiveState Images
+
+While it is not an OS with a package manager, this page describes the details of ActiveState container images.
+ActiveState images don't contain OS packages.
+
+Trivy supports the following scanners for ActiveState images.
+
+|    Scanner    | Supported |
+|:-------------:|:---------:|
+|     SBOM      |     ✓     |
+| Vulnerability |     ✓     |
+|    License    |     ✓     |
+
+## SBOM
+Trivy collects packages from two sources:
+
+- Pre-built SBOM file at `/opt/activestate/<name>.spdx.json` (if present)
+- Language-specific packages (e.g., npm, pip, go.mod)
+
+!!! note
+    This may result in [duplicates](#duplicates) if both sources contain the same packages.
+
+## Vulnerability
+Trivy detects vulnerabilities in language-specific packages found in the image.
+
+ActiveState images don't contain OS packages, so vulnerability detection for OS packages is not performed.
+
+## License
+Trivy detects licenses from language-specific packages found in the image.
+
+## Duplicates
+Scan results may contain duplicates when the same packages are detected both from the SBOM file
+and by Trivy's analyzers. This is expected behavior.
+
+To avoid duplicates, you can either:
+
+- [Skip the SBOM file][skipping] from scanning
+- [Filter the results][filtering] to remove duplicates
+
+[skipping]: ../../configuration/skipping.md
+[filtering]: ../../configuration/filtering.md
