The Acronis License Server Management Tool is a command-line utility for
controlling the Acronis License Server, while the Acronis License Server
Management Console provides an easy-to-use GUI and additional useful
features such as remote Acronis components installation and license revoke.
These two programs are intended mostly for Acronis products other than
Acronis Snap Deploy. You may install only the Acronis License Server and
manage it via the Acronis Snap Deploy Management Console.
After installation, Acronis License Server launches automatically as Windows
service.

Adding licenses to Acronis License Server
You can add serial numbers for any Acronis product to the Acronis License
Server using the Acronis Snap Deploy Management Console. Trial versions of
the product will be managed by Acronis License Server; however the serial
numbers will only be valid for a limited period of time.
Acronis recommends that you save serial numbers in a text file since the
Acronis License Server can import multiple serial numbers from a .txt file,
saving you from time-consuming procedure of typing in each serial number.
You may create one file with all serial numbers for all Acronis products or
separate files for each product or purchase. These serial numbers can then be
imported to the Acronis License Server.
Once the Acronis License Server has imported the serial numbers, you may
delete the text file(s) with the serial numbers. When upgraded, recovered or
reinstalled, the Acronis License Server 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.
