Before switching to a full version of an advanced edition

If you are planning to change licenses on a large number of machines, you may want to add (import) the full license keys to Acronis License Server.

Acronis Deduplication is always enabled in trial product versions. If you want to continue using this functionality, please do not forget to:

1. Purchase Acronis Deduplication licenses.
2. Import the Acronis Deduplication license keys to the license server (recommended).
3. Use one Acronis Deduplication license for every machine where Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 is upgraded to the full version.

You can do this later at any time, however, until that time backup to deduplicating vaults will fail.

To change a license in advanced editions:

1. Do either of the following:
   • Connect the console to the machine and click Help > Change license.
   • Connect the console to the management server, navigate to Machines with agents, Virtual machines, or to another group that displays the machine whose license you want to change, right-click the machine, and then click Change license.
2. Do either of the following:
   • If the currently used licenses are stored on the license server, select the edition to switch to. If the Acronis Deduplication or Acronis Universal Restore licenses for this edition are available on the license server, specify whether to use each of these licenses. To add one or more licenses to the license server, click Add license.
   • Otherwise, enter the license keys manually.

To change licenses on multiple machines running Windows, we recommend using the remote installation functionality.

To change a license:

1. Click Help > Change license.
2. Enter the new license key. If you have a license key for Acronis Universal Restore, you can add it here.

   Please do not forget that you cannot enable Acronis Universal Restore while using a trial product version.
