Licensing for virtual machines

Acronis offers a special licensing policy for virtual machines.

• An Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Advanced Server license enables the backing up of a physical host and four virtual machines.
• An Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Virtual Edition license enables backing up a physical host and an unlimited number of hosted virtual machines. You can install the product into the guest systems, back them up from the host, or combine both methods.

  Installation of Agent for VMware vSphere ESX(i) (both versions) is possible without specifying a license or a license server. When creating a backup plan, one Virtual Edition license will be required for each host where a virtual machine is selected for backup.
