1.4 Licensing policy

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 licensing is based on the number of machines managed and protected

by the product. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agents require a license to perform operations on

each managed machine. The method of license check is different for stand-alone product editions

and editions that enable centralized management.

Editions with centralized management

These are the following editions:

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server (ABR10 AS)

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition (ABR10 AS VE)

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server SBS Edition (ABR10 AS SBS)

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Workstation (ABR10 AW)

These editions include Acronis License Server that has to be installed prior to agent installation.

License keys can be imported to the Acronis License Server from .txt or .eml files during the server

installation or later on. For ABR10 AS, one license key enables installation of the agent on a physical

host and four virtual machines. For ABR10 AS VE, one license key enables installation of the agent on

a physical host and on an unlimited number of hosted virtual machines.

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent connects to Acronis License Server every time the agent service

is started and then every 1–5 days, as specified by the agent configuration parameters. If the agent is

unable to connect to the license server or does not find the appropriate license key for 1-60 days (as

specified by the configuration parameters), it stops working until there has been a successful license

check.

By default, the agent tries to connect to the license server every day and keeps working without a

license server or license for 30 days.

Revoking licenses

If a managed machine is taken out of service permanently and replaced, or the machine's network

card is replaced (which normally results in changing the MAC address), you can revoke the

corresponding license in order to make it available again.
