1 Before installation
This section answers questions that might arise before the product installation.
1.1 Types of licenses (stand-alone and advanced
editions)
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 licensing is based on the number of machines backed up by the
product.
Stand-alone editions
These are the following editions:
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Server for Windows
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Server for Linux
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Workstation
The stand-alone editions are designed for backing up the data of a single machine. With any of the
above licenses, you can install all the product components on the same machine only. You will be
asked for the license key of any of the above editions during the product installation.
Advanced editions (editions with centralized management)
These are the following editions:
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Advanced Server
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Virtual Edition
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Advanced Server SBS Edition
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Advanced Workstation
These editions are designed for backing up multiple machines. In addition to components that need
to be installed on a backed up machine, these editions include a management server that enables
centralized management, and storage nodes for storing backed up data on them. Unlike stand-alone
editions, advanced editions allow remote connection to a backed up machine.
As with stand-alone editions, a separate license is required for every machine you want to back up.
During installation of a licensed component (agent), you can either specify a license server or enter a
license key manually. Installation of other components is not licensed. For example, you can install as
many storage nodes as you wish - up to 50.
Components of stand-alone editions do not interact with the components of advanced editions.
