Acronis acronis snap deploy 3 Manual

 

 

Acronis Snap Deploy licensing is based on the number of deployed and/or managed computers 

(servers or workstations.) For example, to deploy a system on 100 computers you need 100 

deployment licenses. No additional licenses are required to manage the deployed computers or re-
deploy any of them. 

 

Acronis Snap Deploy has two types of licenses. A license for the server product is needed to deploy a 

server operating system or install the management agent on a server operating system. A license for 

the workstation product is needed to deploy a workstation operating system or install the management 
agent on a workstation operating system.  

 

A workstation license is needed to deploy a disk or partition that does not contain an operating 

system, if the target computer has not been assigned a license before. 

 
Linux is considered as a server OS. The explicit list of server and workstation operating systems is in 

the previous section. 

 

If Acronis Snap Deploy fails to identify the type of operating system, the operating system is 

considered as a workstation OS. 

 
A server license could be used instead of a workstation license automatically or through a prompt. 

 

 

Acronis Universal Deploy is an add-on to Acronis Snap Deploy and has its own serial numbers and 

license agreement.  
 

The Acronis Universal Deploy licenses are counted, used and upgraded in the same way as the Acronis 

Snap Deploy licenses. Acronis Universal Deploy also has two types of licenses for server and 

workstation operating systems. You need one Universal Deploy license per target computer. 

 

You do not need a license to install Acronis Universal Deploy. However, do not forget to add the 
Acronis Universal Deploy licenses to the license server before starting deployment. If the licenses are 

not found during deployment, the Acronis Universal Deploy step will be skipped. 

 

 

The Acronis Snap Deploy trial version has all the functionality of the standard version. To upgrade 
from the trial version to the standard product you do not need to re-download the software. Simply 

buy the licenses and import them to the license server. 

 

 
To upgrade from Acronis Snap Deploy version 2.0 or 1.0 to version 3, upgrade both the licenses and 

the program components.
