"},{"title":"How many licenses do I need for my environment?","content":"A license is required for every machine or physical host that you want to backup.

"},{"title":"What is the difference between on-premises and cloud deployment?","content":"

Cloud deployment means that the management server is located in one of the Acronis data centers. The benefit of this approach is that you do not need to maintain the management server in your local network. This type of deployment is available only for subscription licenses and at the moment does not include some features of the Advanced edition. This type of deployment is recommended if you have a Mac-only environment or a single Mac to back up (since Management Server cannot be installed on a Mac).

On-premises deployment means that all of the product components are installed in your local network. You have to use this method if your machines are not connected to the Internet.

"},{"title":"What is Acronis Cloud Storage and how is it licensed?","content":"

Acronis Cloud Storage is a storage option that saves backups to safe and secure Acronis Data Centers. Acronis Cloud Storage licenses are subscription-based and depend on the storage capacity levels. You can save backups from an unlimited number of machines and any type of platform to cloud storage, including mobile device backups. The quota is shared among all the devices registered in the account*.

(!) Note that in order to use Acronis Cloud Storage you need at least one Acronis Cyber Protect license.

*Does not apply to the free cloud storage. The free cloud storage available with a subscription license is valid only for the licensed workload and cannot be shared across other workloads.
