need to perform Save logs to file operation for troubleshooting the problems you might encounter.

17.4 Managing licenses (Configure -> Licenses)

Click Licenses in the Configure tab of the Acronis vmProtect 7 main ribbon menu to open the

Licenses page.

The Licenses view provides you with an overview of the licenses imported into the vmProtect 7

Agent. Here you can Add the license serial numbers and Remove the binding of licenses to ESX(i)

hosts by using the corresponding buttons in the tool bar. Removing the license binding allows to free

them up.

The licensing scheme in vmProtect 7 implies that each CPU on the managed ESX(i) host/cluster

consumes a license.

At the first run of Acronis vmProtect 7 there are no licenses bound to any ESX(i) hosts/clusters.

Without a license binding you can back up VMs only to the Acronis Online Backup storage as a

backup destination. A new license can be added as described below.

The imported (added) serial numbers may contain a number of licenses inside. The right section on

the Licenses page shows the serial numbers list, the number of licenses, as well as their import date

and expiration date.

The left section represents the list of the ESX(i) hosts/clusters with some licenses bound. Licenses are

bound to the ESX(i) host/cluster upon first backup or restore operation with virtual machines running

on this host. In case of a cluster, the licenses will be bound to all hosts included in this cluster. If a

host is removed from the cluster, the license is not freed up automatically. You can remove the

license binding by selecting the ESX(i) host/cluster here and clicking on the Remove button in the

tool bar. The licenses which were bound to this host will be free again and can be reused on another

ESX(i) host/cluster.
