7.2.1.4 Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows
The following are the parameters of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent that can be set by using
Acronis Administrative Template.
Licensing
Specifies how often the agent checks its license on the license server, and how long it can work
without a license server.
License Check Interval (in days)
Description: Specifies how often, in days, to check for license availability on Acronis License
Server.
Possible values: any integer number between 0 and 5
Default value: 1
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent periodically checks whether its license key is present on
the license server. The first check is performed every time that Acronis Backup & Recovery 10
Agent starts and subsequent checks are performed once in the number of days given by
License Check Interval.
When the agent cannot connect to the license server, a warning is recorded into the agent's
log. You can view this warning in the Dashboard.
If the value is 0, no license check will be performed; without a license, Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10's functionality will be disabled after the number of days given by
Maximum Time Without License Server (see the next parameter).
See also License Server Connection Retry Interval later in this topic.
Maximum Time Without License Server (in days)
Description: Specifies how long, in days, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 will work as normal
until its functionality is disabled.
Possible values: any integer number between 0 and 60
Default value: 30
If Acronis License Server is unavailable, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 will continue working
with full functionality for the number of days specified in
Maximum Time Without License Server, as counted from the moment of installation or from
the last successful check.
License Server Connection Retry Interval (in hours)
Description: Specifies the interval, in hours, between connection attempts when Acronis
License Server is unavailable.
Possible values: any integer number between 0 and 24
Default value: 1
If, during a check for the license key (see License Check Interval earlier in this topic), Acronis
Backup & Recovery 10 Agent could not connect to the license server, it will try to reconnect
once in the number of hours given by License Server Connection Retry Interval.
