ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server SBS Edition Installation Manual page 11

Viewing information about licenses
1. Run the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console.
2. Click Manage licenses. Connect to the machine where Acronis License Server is installed. This will
display all license keys available on the license server. One license key can contain multiple
licenses.
Right-click on the column headings bar to choose the details to display: Product name, License
key, Import date, Expiration date and Total number of licenses assigned to each license key, as
well as how many of them are available (i.e. free) and used. For example, if one license
corresponds to one license key, Total=1, Available=1, Used=0 (if the license is free) or Available=0,
Used=1 (if the license has been acquired).
3. To display more information about used licenses, select View usage info on the sidebar. (This
item does not appear while all licenses are free).
This viewing mode lists all licenses that are acquired. Right-click on the column headings bar to
choose the details to display: Product name, Host name, Host address, License key, Acquire date
(date of deployment or installation that used the license) and Renewal date.
You can sort any list using View > Arrange Icons by.
Removing licenses
To completely remove a license from the Acronis License Server, select it from the list of available
licenses and click Remove license on the sidebar.
Revoking licenses
Revoking makes used licenses available again. You may need it when:
•
A managed machine is taken out of service permanently.
Revoke the license from the machine either before or after taking out the machine.
•
A network card is replaced on a managed machine.
Replacing a network card on a machine normally results in changing the MAC address and thus
the agent on this machine becomes inoperable. Revoke the license from the machine either
before or after replacing a network card. Once the machine is turned on, the agent accesses the
license server and acquires any of the available licenses automatically. Thus the agent becomes
fully operable.
To revoke a license:
1. In the Available licenses view, select the product
2. Click View usage info on the sidebar
3. Select the host from which you wish to revoke the license (see the Host name column)
4. Click Revoke license on the sidebar.
When an agent is uninstalled, its license is revoked from the license server if the license server is
accessible at the time of uninstallation. This is the case for all agents except for Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 Agent for ESX/ESXi.
