1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Acronis License Server (ALS) is a mechanism that tracks individual licenses of Acronis
products. ALS is part of the following Acronis products: Acronis True Image Enterprise
Server, Acronis True Image Workstation and Acronis Snap Deploy.
ALS tracks the number of licenses using a MAC address, which is unique for each network
adapter. Though a MAC address is usually hardwired, some operating systems offer a way to
change it. It is important to note that attempting to change the MAC address on a system
may impede the ALS operation and make the Acronis product unavailable.
Each time a licensed Acronis component is run, it checks the availability of its unique license
on the ALS. If the license is expired or there is no access to the server where the ALS is
installed, the application will not run, and will issue an “invalid license” message.
IMPORTANT! The Acronis True Image (local console) checks its unique license on the ALS just as
other licensed components. However, the program properly operates (including scheduled tasks
launch) if the computer, running the Acronis True Image, is not connected to a network, or
connected to a network without ALS.
1.2 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 (local console) are to be installed. The
number of Acronis True Image Management Console, Acronis License Server and Acronis
True Image Storage Server installations is not counted.
This means you need one license for each server you are going to backup, whether you will control it
on-site (with the local console) or remotely (using the Acronis True Image Agent), or use both ways
of control.
The same policy is applied to Acronis True Image Workstation, except that the number of
workstations is counted as opposed to servers.
Acronis Snap Deploy licensing is based on number of computers, deployed and/or managed
with Acronis Snap Deploy Management Console. The number of deployments onto the same
computer, as well as the number of Acronis Snap Deploy Management Console, Acronis OS
Deploy Server*, Acronis PXE Server or Acronis License Server installations is not counted.
For example, to deploy software on 100 computers you need 100 licenses. No additional licenses are
required to manage the deployed computers, even if you re-deploy any of them. If, for any reason,
you want to manage a new computer that was not previously deployed with Acronis Snap Deploy,
you will need a new license to install the Acronis Snap Deploy Management Agent to that computer.
The upgrade of Acronis products does not require new licenses, if you install the new
licensed components to the same computers. The number of computers not the number of
upgrades is the component that the ALS tracks.
* When installing Acronis OS Deploy Server, you have to specify the ALS. However, no extra license will be
engaged. Acronis OS Deploy Server checks the availability of free licenses and stores the specified ALS
parameters to be able to access the ALS later, when deployment is launched.
