Server licenses and workstation licenses

In terms of the operating system you can deploy, a license can be one of two types:

• A server license enables deploying a server operating system.
• A workstation license enables deploying a workstation operating system. A workstation license is needed to deploy a disk or volume that does not contain an operating system, if the target machine has not been assigned a machine license before.

Linux is considered as a server operating system. See also the complete list of supported server and workstation operating systems.

If Acronis Snap Deploy 4 fails to identify the type of operating system, the operating system is considered as a workstation operating system.

When setting up a deployment operation, you can choose whether a server license can be automatically used instead of a workstation license for deploying a workstation operating system.
