Activating a subscription on a machine means allowing the machine to back up to the online storage.
A volume subscription is activated automatically as soon as you start backing up the machine to Acronis Online Backup Storage.
A machine subscription (for workstation, server, or virtual machines) needs to be activated manually. Its subscription period starts at the moment of activation.
Important Before activating the first subscription for your account, check the country selected in your profile. Depending on this country, the service determines the data center where your backups will be sent. Make sure to select the country where all or most of the machines you want to back up to the online storage are located. Otherwise, the data may unnecessarily travel a long way. Later, you will not be able to change the data center even if you change the country in your profile. To access your profile, go to the Acronis website, select User Login, log in to your account, and then click Personal Profile.
