3.12  Using Acronis License Server 
 
This section does not describe steps of the installation procedure. It contains general information 
necessary for understanding Acronis License Server and covers more operations with licenses than 
described in 
3.5.2  Adding licenses using Acronis License Server Management Console
 and 
3.5.3  
Adding licenses in command line mode
.  
 
3.12.1  Understanding Acronis License Server 
 
The Acronis License Server is a mechanism that tracks licenses of Acronis products. 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 Universal Deploy is an add-on to Acronis Snap Deploy and has its own serial number and 
license agreement. 
 
Acronis License Server tracks the licenses using a MAC address, which is unique for each network 
interface card (NIC). Although a MAC address is usually hardwired to the NIC, 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 Acronis License Server operation and prevent you from other deployments to 
the same computer or from managing that computer remotely. 
 
When installing Acronis OS Deploy Server, you have to specify the Acronis License Server. Once the 
Acronis License Server is found the program checks for available licenses on the server and stores its 
net address to be able to access the Acronis License Server later, when deployment is launched. 
 
When starting a deployment, Acronis OS Deploy Server checks the availability of free licenses on the 
Acronis License Server. If there are enough free licenses for the deployment, the process will run and 
the number of free licenses will decrease by the number of deployed systems. 
 
Acronis License Server can import multiple license numbers from .txt or .eml files, saving you from the 
time-consuming procedure of typing in each number. 
 
When upgraded, recovered or reinstalled, the Acronis License Server keeps all the imported licenses 
intact. However, it is recommended that you copy the file(s) with license numbers to removable 
media, or create a hard copy of that file(s) and keep it in a safe place. This ensures that you have 
license data available in case of hardware failure. 
 
3.12.2  Viewing information about licenses  
 
1.  Run the Acronis Snap Deploy Management Console. 
2.  Click Manage licenses. Connect to the computer where Acronis License Server is installed. This 
will display all serial numbers available on the Acronis License Server. One serial number can 
contain multiple licenses.
