Upgrading From Trial To Full Product Version; Changing A License - ACRONIS BACKUP AND RECOVERY 10 ADVANCED SERVER VIRTUAL EDITION - INSTALLATION UPDATE 3 Installation Manual

The machines' membership in static groups is lost because the machines are removed from the
management server and then added again during the VA update.
8. [Optional] Check if membership of the machines managed by the VA in custom dynamic groups
is re-established.
The machines' membership in the dynamic groups that use the Host/VA criterion will be lost
because the VA is removed from the management server during update. To re-establish the
machines' membership in such group, specify the updated VA as a criterion for the group.
You do not need to re-apply policies to either static or dynamic custom groups. As soon as the
machines' membership in the groups is re-established, the appropriate policies will be re-deployed to
the virtual machines automatically.
