1.3 License policy
Acronis True Image Enterprise Server licensing is based on the number of servers on which
Acronis True Image Agent and/or Acronis True Image Enterprise Server local version are to
be installed. This means you need one license for each server you are going to backup,
whether you will control it on-site (with the local program version) or remotely (using Acronis
True Image Agent), or use both ways of control. The number of Acronis True Image
Management Console, Acronis Group Server and Acronis Backup Server installations is not
counted.
Acronis Universal Restore is an option to Acronis True Image Enterprise Server and has its
own serial number.
