License policy
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 licensing is based on the number of machines managed and protected
by the product. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agents require a license to perform operations on each
managed machine.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Server for Windows (ABR10 SW)
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Workstation (ABR10 W)
The license key for the appropriate Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 edition is required to install an
agent delivered with any of these editions. The license key has to be entered during the agent
installation.
Reassigning licenses
If a managed machine is taken out of service permanently and replaced, or the machine's network
card is replaced (which normally results in changing the MAC address), you can remove the
corresponding license from Acronis License Server and then add it anew to a pool of available
licenses.
According to Acronis End User License Agreement:
You may reassign a Software License if you retire the licensed Hardware due to permanent Hardware
failure. If you reassign a Software License, the Hardware to which you reassign the license becomes
the new licensed Hardware for that particular Software License.
