Acronis Snap Deploy 6 enables imaging and deployment of any PC-based operating system. However, for certain operating systems, some operations or options will not be available. For example, Windows 98/NT/ME, NT/4.0 Server, Windows 2000, and Linux (kernel 2.4.9 and later) can be deployed only as is; on-the-fly settings adjustment is not performed.
Deploying an unrecognized operating system or a disk without an operating system requires a workstation license.
Acronis Universal Deploy is not applicable to the Windows 2000, Windows 98/NT/ME, and Windows NT/4.0 Server operating systems.
