Changing a license in advanced editions

Before switching to a full version of an advanced edition

If you are planning to change licenses on a large number of machines, you may want to add (import) the full license keys to Acronis License Server.

Acronis Deduplication is always enabled in trial product versions. If you want to continue using this functionality, please do not forget to:

  1. Purchase Acronis Deduplication licenses.
  2. Import the Acronis Deduplication license keys to the license server (recommended).
  3. Use one Acronis Deduplication license for every machine where Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 is upgraded to the full version.

You can do this later at any time; however, until that time, backups to deduplicating vaults will fail.

Accessing the Licenses window

Do any of the following:

Changing a license

In the Licenses window, you can add license keys and select which licenses to use for the selected machine. Each license enables a certain set of features. If you choose not to use a license, you will be able to back up the machine to Acronis Online Backup Storage only.

In this window, you can also change a license server used by a machine. This operation is possible only if the machine is not registered on the management server. For registered machines, the management server determines which license server they use. See "Changing the license server used by the management server" for details.
