10. Securing the ALS
Though the ALS requires certain ports to be opened, it is not a security flaw in your
corporate network, provided that the entire network is protected by a well-configured
firewall. Unlike to similar products, it does not download licenses from the web. It operates
strictly inside the local network. Thus the ALS does not create additional opportunities for
intrusion from outside the network.
11. Uninstalling the ALS
To uninstall the ALS from the computer, select Control panel -> Add or remove
programs -> Acronis License Server -> Remove. Then follow the instructions on the
screen.
