3. Installing Acronis License Server
You must install the ALS and import product licenses before installing any licensed Acronis
product component.
3.1 Typical, Custom and Complete ALS installation
You can choose Typical, Custom or Complete ALS installation. The complete installation
includes ALS, ALS Management Console and ALS Management Tool. Typical installation
includes ALS and the ALS Management Console. Custom choice allows separate installation
of these three components.
The ALS Management Tool is a simple command-line utility for controlling ALS, while the
Management Console provides an easy-to-use GUI and additional useful features such as
remote Acronis products installation. You may want to install the Management Console or
the Management Tool on a computer different from the server where the ALS is installed,
and control the ALS remotely.
When installing ALS for the second Acronis product (e.g. APEC), while one ALS (e.g. for
ATIES) is already installed, you most probably will choose to install only ALS, because you
already have the necessary management instruments.
3.2 ALS installation for various Acronis products
Acronis True Image Enterprise Server, Acronis True Image Workstation, and Acronis Snap
Deploy products include the ALS in their installation bundle. The ALS must be installed for
each Acronis product. It is recommended that all ALS installations are done on the same
server (provided that all computers running that products are connected to the same local
network). The ALS then will be seen as a common server for all Acronis products. The
administrator will be able to manage multiple licenses for multiple Acronis products from one
central location. The ALS can identify licenses by numbers, so no additional steps for
recognition of the product type are required.
4. Adding licenses to Acronis License Server
Every Acronis serial number that is provided with an Acronis product, must be added to the
ALS by the network administrator, using the Acronis License Server Management Console or
the ALS Management Tool. Trial versions of the product will be managed by ALS, however
the serial numbers will only be valid for a limited period of time.
The ALS can import multiple serial numbers from a .txt file, saving you from time-consuming
procedure of typing in each serial number. It is recommended that you save serials in a text
file. You may want to create one file with all serial numbers, or several files for each product
or each purchase and then add these serial numbers to the ALS.
Once the ALS has imported the serial numbers, you need not keep the text file(s) with the
serial numbers any more. When upgraded, recovered or reinstalled, the ALS keeps all the
imported serials in its memory. It is recommended that you copy the file(s) with serial
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.
1. In the main program window select Manage Licenses on the Local Computer (if ALS
and the ALS Management Console are on the same computer) or Connect to a Remote
Computer and connect.
