Note:
An SPLA license is valid for Cloud Partners. If an SPLA is enabled, you can connect Backup
Gateway only to Acronis Cyber Backup Cloud and not to Acronis Cyber Backup. To connect Backup
Gateway to these products, you will need to use license keys. Furthermore, Acronis Backup Gateway
usage is not counted in the SPLA in Acronis Cyber Infrastructure. The SPLA only counts universal usage
that is not related to backup. Backup usage is shown in the Acronis Cyber Backup Cloud section of
Acronis Cyber Cloud.
You can switch the licensing model at any time:
• Switching the licensing mode (for example, from a license key to an SPLA, or from a subscription to
perpetual) terminates the previously used key even if it has not yet expired. Terminated keys cannot be
used again.
• Switching from an SPLA to a license key changes the licensing model to subscription or perpetual. After
doing so, ask your service provider to terminate your SPLA by either disabling the Acronis Cyber
Infrastructure application for your account or deleting the account.
Important:
If a license expires, all write operations to the storage cluster stop until a valid license is installed.
4.1 Installing license keys
To install a license key, do the following:
1. If you are switching from an SPLA, ask your service provider to terminate the agreement by either
disabling the Acronis Cyber Infrastructure application for your account or deleting the account.
2. On the Settings > Licenses screen, click Upgrade, and then click Register key.
