Installation mode

When installing agents, choose the full installation mode if you have a license key or a cloud backup subscription. Choose the trial mode if you have neither.

Installing in the trial mode

• During typical installation: Select I want to start a free trial.
• During custom installation: In License for backup of ..., select Trial mode, and then click Next.

The product will be installed in the trial mode.

Installing in the full mode

1. [During typical installation only] Select I purchased a license or a subscription, and then click Next.
2. If you have a license key, choose whether to take licenses from a license server or to store them locally on the machine. Otherwise, skip this step.
   • To take licenses from a license server, select the Use the following license server check box, and then specify the name or IP address of the license server. If the license server does not contain the required license keys, type the license keys or import them from a text file.

     We recommend specifying the management server as the license server, unless you already have a separate license server. If the management server is being installed, the local machine is selected by default.

   • To store the machine's licenses on the machine itself, ensure that the license server is not selected. Otherwise, clear the Use the following license server check box. Then, type the license keys or import them from a text file.
3. Skip this step if you do not have a cloud backup subscription, or if you have already registered your subscriptions, or if the machine is not connected to the Internet.

   Otherwise, do the following:

   1. Type the subscription registration codes or import them from a text file. Please do not try to import the subscription keys to Acronis License Server.
   2. Enter your Acronis account credentials. If you do not have an Acronis account, click Create account, and then complete the account creation form.
4. If you skipped steps 2 and 3, in License for backup of ..., select Cloud backup only - license not required.
5. If the license server (or the set of licenses that you entered) contains licenses for more than one product, select the product that you want to install. By default, the cheapest license applicable to the machine’s operating system is selected.
6. If a license is missing in any of the License for backup of ... sections, click Back, and then add the necessary licenses, as described in step 2.
